You can cast Darkness on a point in space, in which case it remains static, or to an object you are holding or isn’t held or carried, in which case it moves with the object. You can’t target a giant’s nose, or even his glasses, thus, and have it move with the giant.
Can I cast darkness on my familiar?
No you cannot cast on your Familiar directly.
Can you cover darkness?
“Completely covering” Completely covering the source of the object with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness. So your DM will have to rule if simply enclosing a coin in your hand does the trick.
Can a Darkness spell dispel a magic item?
When casting Darkness it does instantly dispel any spells in its area which are providing magic light if that spell is below 2nd level. Similarly, the spell Daylight will dispel the average Darkness spell. A magic item that produces light will never dispel (cancel) the Darkness spell, but it does light up that area.
How often can you cast the darkvision spell?
With a foreword by Sandy ‘Ghostbusters’ Petersen, and VTT support! As a drow, you have darkvision, and you can cast Darkness once a day (after reaching 5th level). I’m having trouble visualizing exactly how that spell affects combat.
What’s the effect of the Darkness spell in combat?
You are both equally affected and can’t see each other. Which gives the attacker both advantage (because the target can’t see you) and disadvantage (because you can’t see the target), canceling each other out. So the darkness has no effect on any attack rolls for anyone inside or outside of it, except everyone has to guess where their targets are?
What happens when you cast Darkness on a light source?
Darkness doesn’t just create an area of blackness, it also blocks all light from moving through that area. So if you cast it on a light source, it plunges the whole area into darkness. I like a lot.
