Phantom darkness is a focused illusion that convinces the target that a mage dark spell
has been cast about her. In actuality, the illumination of the area remains
unchanged. The effect value of the spell must exceed the target's Mind for
the spell to be successful.
The disbelief difficulty is 15. The actions of casting
phantom darkness are the same as mage dark, save that the mage holds one
hand behind his back while crossing his fingers.
It should be noted that some victims of this spell
have reacted to this illusion by casting light spells, such as sunstore. Light
spells allow the victim to see under the same effects described under mage
dark, since the victim believes that mage dark was the original spell.''
