Upon the casting of this spell, complete, supernatural darkness falls in the area you designate, regardless of the previously prevailing level of illumination. No magical light counters or dispels utterdark. Evil creatures can see in this darkness as if it were an area of normal illumination.
All non-Evil creatures, as well as all plant matter and objects made from organic material, within the darkness take 2d6 points of unholy damage per round. A successful Fortitude save halves this damage.
You are immune to this damage and can see normally within the affected area, and may designate up to 1 creature per level at the time of casting to receive the same benefits. An area affected by utterdark quickly becomes devoid of all life; animals die, plants crumble, and all living matter turns to ash.
Material Component
A shadow demon and a lantern archon, both imprisoned within a specially prepared soul gem worth 20,000 gp.
Corruption Cost
You advance three steps on both the Constitution and Wisdom damage tracks.
