Counter to darkness spell?

I was wondering if there was a counter somewhere to the Darkness spell (if unit has no darkvision, att/def reduced to zero).

Do you mean reduced to half? Only the blindness affliction should reduce to zero.

I had looked at Solar Brillance, but it doesnt explicitly say anything about the effects of the light beyond the blindness, which I would rather not receive anyway.

Right, doesn't affect darkness. Just an easy MR save to avoid blindness for 50% of all units, and also an easy save to 50% of all undead/demons to avoid 5 AP damage. This might be *really* fun if your opponent has 437 shadow vestals and you have just a mage with some +penetration items and enough body guards to live 2-3 rounds.

I am facing MA Ermor with MA Mictlan (F9D6B6 bless strat) and lost 700 odd Jaguar Warriors to a combo of Darkness and Rigor Mortis.

Ouchy. Nasty spell combination. Relief might help slightly against the rigor mortis, but it wont stop it.
