What does Darkness do?

Really Darkness is most used to support big undead armies of Ermor.
Especially AE has better use because of their skellies are lifeless so they don't replenish SC hit points.
However I've seen it used en-mass only by Norfleet who had never ending gem income.

Mmm. Funny you should mention that...

One might note that darkness does not appear to impair the use of 100-prec 'always-hit' attacks, like Illithid mindbLasts or Incinerate spells.

Darkness is a "must have" spell for Ermor, but it's nice for other nations too. Ritual-summon undead horder or 2, let a lich lead it (scripted to darkness) and you got a very decent force. And it is also a good way to surrprise the opponent.

Any nation that makes use of Longdead Archers (Reanimate Archers) is best used by this spell as well. Unless you are facing loads of undead, Darkness will allow banishements to veer very far off while your banefire arrows decimate the enemy.
