I like the Hex Idea. The mana drain idea needs some slight work since 1 for 1 makes it essentially a 1 slot recurring counterspell. Also magic has many forms in this game, such as Divine (which cannot be easily drained since it is granted by gods.) Nature (which cannot be drained since it is sourced from surroundings at the time of use) and innate (Close to the concept of 'mana')

True, maybe make mana drain only able to drain one spell charge and not restoring the user's at all?
EDIT: So the varied nature of magic wouldn't make that spell work two-thirds of the time? I suppose it would a lot of reworking to actually work. Nevermind about Mana Drain then.
Those are only the three core ones aswell, magic has many more obscure sources such as the old ones, pacts, artifacts, blood, whispers, fey or fiend patrons, curses, afflictions, soul, these are just ones I can think of off the top of my head.
The ability to regain magic is usually very limited since 'magical slots' or whatever are the only thing preventing magic users from being better in every case than non magic users.
Currently the only way to regain magic is with Soul Charge [MAG 12+] at which point a fighter probably has enough skills to keep up, or you've dumped all your other stats and are super frail, balancing out your ability to have twice as many spells (and many more, 12 MAG Is no joke).
After lighting her candle again, she stood up to notice Gilante's
berating gaze. She wasn't entirely quite sure what she did wrong, and
when he explained it went way over her head.
That's because Gilor isn't talking to Caerwyn, he's talking to Silver; he's worried that Silver might somehow extinguish everyone's light sources again in a dangerous situation. He's referring to his orb spell as "checking" since Silver claimed he was "checking to make sure the light was only light" and Gilor wasn't entirely sure how he ended up darkening the entire room. He's only looking at Caerwyn because he's thinking that, since she was already struggling to light her lamp in dim light, that it would be very difficult (and therefore dangerous) to light it in complete darkness.
Sorry for any confusion.

Did something happen to you in your childhood to give you this unreasonable fear of rutabaga?
Weeell, when I originally made the spell, I wasn't thinking it was going to totally put out objects, only dim them or darken them until the spell was over, and then they would brighten to how they were before. I kind of like how you described it, the idea of it actually eating the light energy and putting them out, maybe for later, just know that my intention wasn't to plunge us all into darkness. Or at least, you all into darkness.

Nah, I don't have an issue with it, this is a safe area anyway. Gilor is just worried that you might use that spell again while, say, we're fighting something in a room without natural light. I know you wouldn't attempt that, but Gilor is pretty paranoid by nature, and Gilor doesn't know if anyone aside from himself and Etorias has any way of lighting a room instantly (and Gilor's only method of lighting is his costly Glistening Dust).
Exactly. Still, Silver does fight best in the dark... so maybe Gilor's fear isn't totally unfounded. Of course he'll still try to be considerate.
Just making sure we've got the specifics for the spell written down a bit, and stuff.

There's two rooms beyond, the west(right) corridoor room is uncovered, the east(left) is still not uncovered, You need to say which way you go down the corridoor.
Do those darkness shrouded pillars apply to me? I mean, they are too far away, but I can get close and still see 'em, right?
Just making sure

I uncovered it and said it was still dark so that everyone could explore it with their lights or darkvision.
Just have to get close like yous have been.
