DESCRIPTION

This spell functions as symbol of death, except upon activation the light level within 60 feet of the symbol immediately drops to darkness, regardless of existing lighting conditions. All creatures within 60 feet of a symbol of darkness must make a Fortitude save or become fatigued. This effect cannot make a creature already fatigued become exhausted. Unlike symbol of death, symbol of darkness has no hit point limit; once it is triggered, a symbol of darkness remains active for 1 minute per caster level.

Symbol of darkness can be made permanent with a permanency spell by a caster of 10th level or higher for the cost of 5,000 gp.
