Hi all,
This query is based on the Unhallow spell description: "Finally, you may choose to fix a single spell effect to the unhallowed site. The spell effect lasts for 1 year and functions throughout the entire site, regardless of its normal duration and area or effect. You may designate whether the effect applies to all creatures, creatures that share your faith or alignment, or creatures that adhere to another faith or alignment."
If you chose Deeper Darkness as the spell, would this mean that chosen creatures would not be impacted by Deeper Darkness, and could see normally, while unchosen creatures would be impacted, even if they were in the same place at the same time?
Cheers,

Huh.
Looking at that, I think that that line refers to spells that can be cast on creatures. If for no other reason than every single evil temple hasn't had an altar that casts a subjective deeper darkness on any non evil creatures that wandered in.

No. The line in (un)hallow is only meaningful for effects that affect creatures. Deeper darkness affects the area; there just isn't as much light there to see with. It would have to be an illusion or an enchantment, not an evocation, to get the effect you describe (making creatures think there was less light when there wasn't).
