[QUOTE="Abyssenia, post: 907849, member: 11281"] Hello all, Wondering about how spells with opposite effects actually work at countering each other. Came up in regards to fighting a summoned demon with innate Darkness spell like ability. I had always thought slow countered haste, and a second slow would have its normally effect (phb 154). However in the case of the spells Darkness vs. Daylight. On phb 190 vs. 191 it says that they ,"counter or dispell any darkness spell of equal or lowere level". So how does it do this, do you have to touch the same object? Can you just cast it anywhere in area of effect? This is contrasted with in both spells description it also says ," Darkness and Daylight cancel each other, leaving whatever light conditions normally apply. " What about a second or third of one spell, do prevailing light conditions still apply or did the first one cancel the other spell? So my questions are: 1) what effect does casting one in the same area as the opposite spell have? Dispelling, countering or what? 2) what about multiples of one, so would 4 darkness spells cast around a daylight spell still just equal normal conditions, or does the first one cancel the daylight and the next darkness work normally?
