It makes it easier to move into range for stabbing, helps when fleeing from monsters at the edge of your LOS, forces ranged enemies to move closer to you, and generally reduces the amount of attention you attract simply by keeping you out of sight.

History

  • Darkness will be removed in 0.26.
  • Prior to 0.17, Darkness was a level 7 spell.
