The effects of Arrow of Night could be divided into two parts. The first was its offensive function: the arrow could directly shatter and devour light. Whether it was a gas lamp or light created by a Ring Arcanist, it could extinguish it.
This was also why Miss Feliana had been able to kill the Light Evil Dragon with a single arrow. This Thaumaturgy possessed absolute restraint against things composed purely of light.
And if the target was not a luminous object, then during the day, Arrow of Night could inflict physical damage on whatever it hit, along with a dark corrosive effect similar to Shadow Ball. At night, in addition to those effects, Arrow of Night could also plunge its target into various cursed states such as confusion, blindness, and madness.
The second property of the Thaumaturgy was that if it was fired into an unoccupied area, a field resembling "night" would emerge where the arrow landed. The field suppressed light, and its duration and degree of resemblance to night depended on the current environment, the spirit expended by the caster, and the caster's proficiency with the Thaumaturgy.
All in all, this complex Witch Secret Art was very suitable for Shade.
After mastering the Thaumaturgy, Shade even took Iluna to Green Island to test it. It had been daytime then. Shade first fired an arrow at his own feet, and the surrounding light immediately dimmed. Though it had not fully reached the state of "night," it was enough to count as Shade entering his home ground.
The proof was that once Iluna entered the dark field created by Arrow of Night, she said Thaumaturgies such as her Light Spell and Sunlight Gun were weakened, whereas Shade's Thaumaturgies were completely unaffected.
Amid such leisure and busyness, time soon officially entered
