Buffy Stuff | I of the Beholder
Act Three: Complication - continued

B is for Book

Darkness spell - Twilight's Embrace
Quick Cast Yes
Power Level 3
Requirements Simple ingredients to be found at the Magic Shop: a small amount of nightshade and mandrake root, a dark cloth, silver thread, and a candle flame from a candle anointed with the essential oil of moonflowers.
Effect Light is gradually excluded (like a haze forming, or deepening twilight after the sun sets) from a circle no more than ten feet in diameter for each Success Level, centred at a chosen point within the caster�s view. The effect lasts for one day per Success Level.

To summon the twilight�s embrace, the following words must be intoned while wrapping the nightshade and mandrake in the cloth:


"Oh Lady of Moon and Shadow, Mother of Night.
Keep us from the coming light.
Spread your cloak where I decree, by my words,
So mote it be."

Then the candle must be extinguished with a brass candlesnuffer. The spell will appear where you choose. However, you must be in or within sighting distance of the area to be affected. The power of your words and your conviction can have strong effect on the spell. Be wary, yet strong in your convictions and you shall succeed.
