Effect

This spell creates an area of inky darkness that cancels the equivalent light of a torch and even affects creatures that can otherwise see in darkness. (A lantern targeted by this spell would produce enough light for the person carrying it to use, but no one else could benefit from it). 
The spell lasts for an adventure.

Manifestation

Obstacle to Cast Shroud of Shadows: 3
It may be cast on an area, in which case it is immobile, or it may be cast on an object, in which case it moves with that object.
If the spell is cast upon an unwilling person or monster (rather than a carried object), cast the spell as versus test between Arcanist and the target’s Will (or Nature for monsters). If successful, the target is blind for the remainder of the adventure. Consider the blind victim in darkness at all times.

Material Components

A grave shroud wrapped about the shoulders.
