The blacklight spell has a variety of functions, all relating to snuffing out light.
When cast upon a glowing item, blacklight will snuff out the glow, and nothing further. This effect is permanent.
When cast without a target, blacklight will create an orb of pure darkness; this item may be released to float by the caster. This orb will make the room the wearer is in dark. The orb is large enough to snuff out light from one glowing object either present or worn by anyone in the room, but no more. The orb will crumble when the duration expires.
When the caster directs the blacklight spell at an item that is not glowing and that uses the <floating nearby> equipment slot, that item will begin to absorb light from its surrounds. An item so empowered will negate the effects of one glowing object per ten of the item's levels, and ten of the caster's levels. The absolute maximum number of objects whose glow can be negated is ten.
If a Trigon of Binding has been scribed in salt where the caster uses this spell, a created orb will become permanent, and a blackened item will hold its power for triple the duration.
