Thanks for your help the other day, Luke. 

About this darkness... does anyone know any way to dispel it? I can't get any of my light spells to work for longer than a minute when I go out. I don't have any trouble getting around, but it would be nice if I could actually see things. And I doubt everyone can find their way around like I can. It's certainly some of the most powerful magic I've ever encountered.

Those strange animals are gone, too... lumens, right? I haven't seen a single one since this started.

And it affects this little thing, too. I can only use it inside now.
