Daylight Daylight was an evocation spell that caused an object to give off light , making the illuminated area as bright as a clear day . Effects . The area of effect of " daylight " was full daylight within a radius of 60 ft ( 18 . 3 m ) from the dweomered object and dim light for another 60 ft ( 18 . 3 m ) beyond that . The light given off by the object did not have the properties of sunlight , so it could not destroy a vampire for example , but any creatures affected by strong light were affected by this spell . If a daylit object was brought into an area of " darkness " , the two effects cancelled each other out so that prevailing lighting conditions applied in the overlapping area . " Blacklight " or any higher - level darkness spell cast directly on the daylit object countered this spell . Likewise , " daylight " countered " blacklight " and any lower - level . Sinhala stones were also known to prevent magical darkness . The light from this spell was blockable by any light - proof substance or object , so the effects of this spell could be shrouded or revealed . The post Second Sundering version of the spell created a 60 - foot ( 18 . 3 - m ) sphere of light that could cover a target entirely in light . The light of the sphere turned to dim light for an additional 60 feet outside the sphere . If the sphere covered a magical darkness spell of the same or lower level , then the magic of the darkness spell was dispelled . Components . This spell required only verbal and somatic components .
Hazamir al Aktorral Hazamir al Aktorral ( also spelled al - Aktorral and el Aktorral ) was a wizard and the Caleph of Calimshan during the Shoon Imperium .

He only occasionally deigned to " scry " on his political opponents from time to time . He also rejected living in Shoonach and moved his court back to Calimport . His time in office , known as the Riqysar Regime , was marked by more aggressive expansionism from the military in the environs of the Lake of Steam and the Shaar as well as Athkatla ' s rise from caravan stop to city and capital of Amn . None of this was due to his leadership , however ; it was done for the coming emperor Shoon III . Once Shoon III came of age in 123 DR , he had Hazamir beheaded . This was , however , a ploy by Hazamir , who had managed to create the illusion of his own death and started on the road to becoming a lich . Later , in 361 DR , Shoon VII discovered Hazamir ' s lair and turned him into a grisgol . The creature escaped its confinement when Shoon VII , now a demilich became trapped in the " Tome of the Unicorn " .

Shadowcaster Shadowcasters are magic users who concentrate on studying shadow magic . This involves a significantly different path of study than learning most arcane magic , and requires a dedicated mind . Its secrets are closely guarded , so book learning is often not possible — shadowcasters are often chosen very selectively and then taught everything they know on the subject . Most often found working for the churches of deities who grant access to the darkness domain , shadowcasters tended to be solitary individuals who faced persecution from paladin s and good - aligned cleric s regardless of their actual actions and intentions , due to a belief that anyone so closely linked to the plane of shadow must be inherently evil . True , the shadow plane was full of evil entities but the plane itself was only mildly evil - aligned and anyone with a disciplined enough mind could master the bizarre power available from it . Many also thought shadowcasters were tied to Shar s Shadow Weave but this was not the case . Due to the direct link a shadowcaster had with the plane itself , its powers could just as easily be accessed with the Weave . Shadow adept s are a type of shadowcaster . Abilities . As they grew more powerful , they unlocked mysteries - thought processes and powers known to few outside the plane itself due to their alien nature - much like a warlock would learn invocations . Unlike a warlock however , the further a shadowcaster progressed , the easier they found their mysteries to manipulate .
