The dark fire spell provides a small, lightless campfire when cast on a bronze brazier. This fire puts out heat and burns, but emits no light in the normal visible spectrum, nor does it create smoke. Objects set ablaze by the dark fire burn normally, emitting both smoke and light. The area of effect is equal to the size of the brazier, to a maximum diameter of one foot per level of the caster.

The material component is a small piece of charcoal. A bronze brazier is also required.

Notes: Very rare spell (Updated from Polyhedron Newszine.) Not to be confused with darkfire.
