However for my caster who I have as more night and darkness themed mage.
Id like too see if there is a way to make some darkness projectile.

Now what Im going to ask is:
Is there a way to cast illusion over your projectile as to make some Darkness effect stacking exactly with the projectile in order to make some darkness attack.

Kinda like this type stuff.
Im using magic as skills.
There's no need to. Invent a "Solid Darkness" spell. Then use that as a pre-requisite to invent, say a "Cutting Darkness" spell.
