For the duration, magical Darkness spreads from a point within range and fills a 15-foot-radius Sphere. Darkvision can’t see through it, and nonmagical light can’t illuminate it.
Alternatively, you cast the spell on an object that isn’t being worn or carried, causing the Darkness to fill a 15-foot Emanation originating from that object. Covering that object with something opaque, such as a bowl or helm, blocks the Darkness.
If any of this spell’s area overlaps with an area of Bright Light or Dim Light created by a spell of level 2 or lower, that other spell is dispelled.

Posted May 22, 2025you can use emanation to use it on yourself, but that that has slightly less utility for throwing an object to transport the darkness.

Posted May 27, 2025You cannot cast this spell on yourself. It can only be cast on a point in space or an object that isn't being worn or carried, and you are neither of those things. However, there's nothing saying you can't cast it on an object and then pick up that object.

Posted Jul 1, 2025If I threw an object I was carrying up in the air (say a coin or a gemstone), could I cast Darkness on it before catching it, or would the object still be considered as being carried?

Posted Jul 7, 2025Probably, though just putting it on the ground and then casting the spell on it would probably be easier.
