@ReubenFontana @mikemearlsDoes darkness dispel fire spells that shed light like flaming sphere? Can you increase its slot to dispel more? I would allow the darkness spell to dispel any spell of 2nd level or lower that explicitly produces light.

@ReubenFontana @mikemearlsCan you cast darkness at a higher level slot to nix a spell such as fire shield? As written, the darkness spell can't be made more powerful with a higher level slot.
