The hours this works seem to be off wonk? Maybe they're per the letter of DnD but if I have to wear a light I should be able to shadow walk, no?

It seems though it's dark come 7PM, I cannot shadow walk until 9PM.

Confirmed - this is hard code, I don't see anything in the spells soft code that controls it. That being the case, I want to be sure we have all the details figured out before bugging Mask with it.

Canon says only that "you must be in an area of shadowy illumination". Perhaps that means a dark room with a light source not yourself? If so, that should be clarified in the helpfile.

It makes sens to me the spell should operate after the echo "The night has begun.", in the 8 o'clock hour, or the one that comes a bit sooner, something like the sun is setting. It looks like both the caster and target can not be wearing a light source, which makes sense. But it also looks like the target needs to be in a room with a light source (someone else wearing a light?) which wouldn't make any sense to me. I could not get the spell to work indoors - was that just me? If not, does that make sense? Anything else about this spell need a tweak?

Added: It looks like the spell does not work in the underdark, which is consistent with other travel spells not working there.
