I agree that the game is likely over. We should not have allowed Ermor to grow as strong as he was. Or listened to the nonsense from Caelum and Ermor about how he was a paper tiger. My congrats to Ermor for a skillfully played game tho.

That said: I have never experienced Utterdark before and I have to say that I think it is overpowered. Vastly so! Not only does it effect income, which is understandable. But it also effects Precision. And Attack. And Defense!!!! Its insane. So, not only is your economy destroyed - which would be bad enough - but your ability to mount any defense is also destroyed. I can seriously not think of a "correct" cost for this spell given that it basically just wins the game for you at a stroke (unless it is dispeled). There is no other level 9 spell which even comes close to this level of power.
