Deeper Darkness and Darkvision

[Xavram5]

I know that Deeper Darkness can create "magical" darkness that even Darkvision can't see through when its cast in an area that's already Dim light or darkness.

What I notice is that there are a lot of creatures out there that can cast this but who only have Darkvision. Aren't they effectively blinding themselves if they cast this in this circumstance? Am I missing something?

Yup, it's kind of silly. You need the See in Darkness ability in order to see in Deeper Darkness.

I have often wondered the same thing.
