Effect

Normal light sources cannot illuminate the affected area. Darkvision continues to function there.

Light Interactions

Light and No Light counter one another where they overlap, leaving the normal ambient lighting in place. Higher-level light spells can counter and dispel No Light.

Using No Light

The spell is useful for concealment, ambushes and denying normal vision without creating a barrier to creatures already able to see in darkness.
