This spell causes an object to throw deep shadows in a 20-foot radius. The shadow is equivalent to that seen on a moonless night and grants a +2 circumstance bonus to all Stealth checks. The effect is immobile, but can be cast on a movable object. Shadow taken into an area of magical light will not function.

A dark baubles spell is sufficient to counter and dispel the effects of a spell with the light descriptor of equal level.
