General Manc: Darkness

When the daylight fades and the night arrives, darkness rules. But Manc cares not if it is light or dark and this Manc can be equally as powerful as that of any Light Manc.

In its basic form the user creates an area, to a maximum of 40 feet in diameter, of total blackness. No light penetrates at all. Nightvision is useless. The Darkness can be lightened so as to be a moonless night (nightvision creatures can see within this field). The Darkness can be moved, can be made solid, or even cast upon a victim or target. A Continual Darkness is also possible.

The details given are for the basic form, that of a 40-foot diameter sphere of darkness.

To lighten to that of a moonless night, to be able to move the sphere after casting, or to shrink its size, or to cast upon a victim or target, requires a +1 Power Level. All these modifications are cumulative and are added to the basic Power Level. (e.g. a Moonless Darkness cast upon a victim results in +2 Power Levels added to the basic form.)

Continual Darkness and Solid Darkness, a sphere of Darkness that nothing can physically penetrate (much like an Invisible Wall) but is hollow inside. These Manc has its own creation table, but to have both qualities is +10 Power Levels to the Continual Darkness Level.

To dispel the Darkness, Banish Manc will suffice, but will also cancel anything magical the Darkness is cast upon. Manc items or beings within the sphere, but not the target, are unaffected by the Banish Manc. An equally powerful and similar form of Light Manc will cancel the darkness, causing neither to operate. Heat Sense has no affect within the Darkness sphere.

Creation of this Manc is difficult and requires dipping into the potion brew, which is created at the same time. The time stated on the tables includes the potion creation time. All the items must be hidden in total darkness for one full day (4 Movements). The addition of Demon's Wing decreases the Power of the item Level by -2 and the absence of onyx increases the Power Level by +1. All omissions are cumulative. Vocals are necessary when stirring the brew and during dipping and drying.

The cauldron may be anything except gold or silver, within a circular Üolarm with black melted wax or candles present at the alignment points.

The scroll must be written in black ink, often the reduced residue of the potion brew.
