Cast in shadow

You create up to four tiny hovering orbs of pure black. The orbs can each envelop any object size small or less. Any non-magical illumination shed into or out of the covered item is dimmed by 1 step. Brightly Lit becomes Dimly Lit, Dimly Lit becomes Normal Darkness. 

You can also combine all orbs and touch one friendly creature or object, size medium or smaller. Until the spell ends, the object or creature shades an area within a 10 foot sphere from the effects of illumination, dimming it by 1 step. As a bonus action the caster can alter the shape and boundaries of the sphere. 

If a creature uses its action to examine the area or object the creature can negate the effect of the spell with a successful Wisdom (Perception) check against your spell save DC. The creature has advantage on the perception check if it is in combat or if it is familiar with the location. 

Any magical light source level 1 or higher, or direct sunlight will end the spell.
