How would the light-generating Power of Faith supernatural ability of the Warrior of the Holy Light paladin archetype interact with a darkness or deeper darkness spell or spell-like ability? It is a supernatural ability with no spell/caster level, and as a supernatural ability it cannot be counterspelled or dispelled making the light/darkness spell interactions moot.
Does this sound right?
- When activated, the paladin is surrounded by a 30-foot radius of normal light which is not a spell or spell-like ability, so it effectively acts as a mobile bubble that turns the "natural" light level within to normal light.
- Darkness cannot counter or dispel Power of Faith (or vice versa), but if a darkness spell/SLA's area overlaps with the paladin's ability the overlapped area has dim light (natural level lowered one step).
- Deeper Darkness works similarly, but lowers the overlapped area to darkness (not supernaturally dark).
- When the paladin hits 12th level, Power of Faith generates bright light so a darkness overlap would have normal light and a deeper darkness overlap would have dim light.
