Darkvision (spell)

Infravision, originally called Nalevac's deep sight, was a common alteration spell that allowed the target to see in completely dark environments, giving them temporary infravision.

Effects
This spell allowed the casting wizard, or the touched target, to see in absolute darkness up to 60 ft (18.3 m). Highly luminous sources, such as torches or a blazing fire, essentially blinded this vision. Thus, infravision was usually used in dark areas only, and may have hindered the recipient in well-lit areas. The duration of the bestowed infravision scaled with the experience of the caster.

Components
The spell required somatic, verbal, and material components. The material component could either be an agate stone or a pinch of dried carrot.

History
The spell was invented by the Netherese arcanist, Nalevac, in −2005 DR. Infravision was also detailed in Bowgentle's Book, as well as The Alcaister, and the Book of the Silver Talon.
