Area of Effect: 10' cube/level

When this spell is cast, the area of effect becomes dark as midnight. In the blackness, magical silver stars numbering 1, plus 1 per level of the caster appear. All comrades of the caster named in the spell's casting, up to 1 plus the one for each level of the caster, can see as if it were daylight. All others are in magical darkness. Each of the stars confers a 50% magic resistance against one magical attack as follows: When a magical attack is made against any of the affected creatures, one star confers 50% magic resistance to the target of that spell for that attack, in addition to any normal applicable save. If no save is allowed, the target receives one with a base roll of 18 (similar to a scarab of protection +2).
Whether the magic resistance is successful or not, the star winks out. If the offensive spell has more than one target, one star for each victim is used. If one individual is targeted more than once before the stars are used up, the target gets magic resistance from another star. When the stars are gone (or spell expires) the darkness is dispelled. The stars are allotted automatically according to the attacks made on the creatures in the area of effect. This cannot be changed. The target cannot forgo the magic resistance even if desired.
The material component is small silver stars equalling the number of creatures to be affected. The stars are used up in the casting.
Notes: Very rare spell.
