How it works

The Blindspot is a blackstone shrine whose candles veil the world. Wake it, and its black candles light. Every creature inside its sphere, you included, is wrapped in Darkness and cannot see. The Blindspot wakes — darkness fills 8 blocks.

The number of candles in each slot sets the reach:

Candles per slot	1	2	3	4
Radius	4	8	12	16

When the slots hold different numbers of candles, the smallest count decides.

Good to know

• Right-click the heart to still the veil or wake it again. An automation designator can do the same.
• Breaking any block of the shrine collapses it. The Blindspot frays — the darkness lifts.
• The walls must lean in as the pattern shows, and every candle slot must hold a black candle.

Configuration

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/blindspot.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.
