[[3e Summary:: By means of a dim cantrip, the illusionist causes a light source to become weaker or the very air to become less permeated by light rays. If light sources are to be affected, then about 6 torches, a medium-sized fire (such as in a fire­place or campfire), 72 candles, or even a light or continual light spell can be affected. The dim cantrip causes any of the above light sources to shed, at best, only half their normal radiance for one full round. Torches burn only as brightly as candles; candles glow but dimly; a fire becomes torch like in illumination, and all light spells dim to half their normal brightness. Affected light must be within 25 feet of the caster when the cantrip is cast.

The verbal component is a magical phrase (such as “bee-row-nout” or “rhea-oh-stat”), ut­tered while making a downward motion with one hand.
