You place your material components on the ground, forming a circle with the candles and placing the coal in the center. When the casting is complete, the candles melt away, and the spell takes hold. For the duration, a 1-mile radius sphere centered on a point of casting becomes affected. Sunlight can't enter the area; other (magical or not) light can only create dim light. No bright light can shine in the area. Also, fire can't burn as hot usually, causing it to deal half its normal damage while in the area.
Casting this spell on the same spot for a year makes this effect permanent until it's dispelled by a dispel magic spell cast at least 7th level.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a slot of 8th or higher, the radius increases by 1 mile, and the duration increases by 8 hours for each slot above 7th.
* - (a piece of coal and six black luxury candles, each worth 1 gp which the spell consumes)
