You change the very world around you in a limited area. Within 1000 feet of you, day turns to night, and night becomes darker as the mooon and whatever stars may be in the sky disappear. The entire area affected by the spell is considered to be engulfed in darkness, and a creature with darkvision cannot see through this darkness. The caster may choose any creatures they can see within range upon casting this spell to be able to see normally inside this darkness. Any spell cast inside this darkness that produces bright light only produces dim light instead, unless that spell creates sunlight in an area, within which the darkness created by this spell is dispelled for the duration.
When a creature not chosen by the caster to be able to see within the area ends its turn in the area, it must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is frightened. While frightened in this way, their movement speed is halved as their body is struck with fear. A creature that succeeds this saving throw is immune to this effect for an hour.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the area for the effect increases by 500 feet.
