Lady of the Dark's death spell doesn't trigger (or triggers but has no effect)

[Kafkaa]

Spell#904 "lady dark death"

Increases the room illumination by 9999 for 10 rounds.

The text triggers i.e. you see "The room lights up with a big flash" or whatever the actual text is, but the light level doesn't change (or doesn't change like it should, which is to make the room visible.

It both triggers and has an effect.  It has the wrong effect though.  Someone here (nudge Vitoc) decided 9999 illu should blind you.

Well if that is the case, maybe it should have a secondary spell of blinding flash or something that does blind you, that can be cured by the cure blindness spell and then you can see the room cause it is fully lit up.

At the moment you don't get a spell on you or anything, the room just doesn't light up.

Again, this was a decision made that almost nobody here agrees with.  The "blinding light" on excessive +illu needs to be removed from the game.  It affects other things besides just this.
