# Darkness Domain Many common people link the dark with evil, the night with the monstrous. You know that they are wrong. You understand that darkness is just the absence of light. Light and darkness are opposite sides of the same coin. To much of either can be dangerous. *“There is the darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful. There is the darkness of lovers, and the darkness of assassins. It becomes what the bearer wishes it to be, needs it to be. It is not wholly bad or good.”* ― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury | Cleric Level | Spells | |:----:|:--------------| | 1st | *detect magic, fog cloud* | | 3rd | *darkness, pass without trace* | | 5th | *nondetection, protection from energy* | | 7th | *evard's black tentacles, greater invisibility* | | 9th | *antilife shell, mislead* | #### Bonus Cantrip When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain the *blade ward* cantrip if you don't already know it. When you cast this cantrip you can target any creature within 30 feet. #### Blindfold Also at 1st level, you can interpose darkness between an attacking enemy and an ally. When an ally is attacked by a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see, you can use your reaction to cause darkness to cover the attacker's eyes, imposing disadvantage on the attack roll. An attacker that can't be blinded is immune to this feature. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. #### Channel Divinity: Radiance of the Dusk Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to grant yourself magical sight. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and create a magical shadow that covers your eyes. This shadow does not interfere with your normal vision and grants you the ability to see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 60 feet for 1 hour. You can split this ability between yourself and another creature, but the time is reduced to 30 minutes. #### Move Unseen At 6th level, you gain the ability to teleport short distances through darkened areas. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. Once you have used this feature, you cannot use it again until you have gained the benefits of a short or long rest. #### Potent Spellcasting At 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip. #### Deeper Darkness Starting at 17th level, whenever you create an area of magical darkness, any hostile creatures in the area must make a Constitution saving throw against your spellcasting DC. On a failure, it is blinded for 1 minute.
