Blind spell casting


Rules Questions


Are there any spells that counter the effects of being blind while casting spells?

Silver Crusade

If we're talking about Blinded the condition, I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you want to know if there is a spell that gives you some kind of vision, otherwise lets you choose targets, or negates the effect? Something else?

You can usually use Perception to locate individuals, but it is not going to be easy. Optimally look for something that grants one of these abilities.

In terms of magic, there are a lot of Divination spells you can look at and talk over with your GM for anything that seems vague. Not sure what you want to play, so this is just the spell lists link.
If it's been magically caused then removing it is a 3rd level spell.


There is a spell that gives you blindsight out to 40 feet. That is about it that I know of.


I recently got a "mask of 1000 tombs" which gives me a +10 on all knowledge checks, but has no eye sockets, so I need a way to see.

Yes, I can always take off the mask in combat, but it would be way cooler if I kept the mask on imo

Sure, that cool factor is going to require some jiggery-pokery, however. Blind is not the worst possible condition, but it's up there for effects you can cause an opponent, creating a floor you must reach before you can. Likewise the solutions to it aren't simple and usually require some expense.

Here's a short list of items:
A Crown
An Eye
Some Fish
And seriously, you should look into the Divination spells of you can cast or wands that mimic them.


I believe some combination of the new Mask feats allow you to use a mask as your bonded object. The masks are eyeless, but do not block vision.

Hellknight Signifier allows the same trick at first level.

For the small price of two spells and 5,000 gp in components, you can make it permanently invisible.
