Darkness not only reduces Monsters' chance to hit, it also increases your chance to hit them. In both cases, the difference is 20%, so don't expect this Spell to negate all damage dealt by the affected Monsters. It's often a good opener when fighting large groups. SLOW is usually a better Spell to use against groups of Monsters with multiple attacks, since it is 20% more accurate than DARK. Be aware that many Monsters resist Status-elemental Spells (including both DARK and SLOW).
Darkness not only reduces Monsters' chance to hit, it also increases your chance to hit them. Still, it's only a 20% swing, so don't expect this Spell to negate all damage unless you use it on already-inaccurate Monsters. It's a good opener when fighting large groups, or Monsters who make a lot of attacks. The only downside is that many Monsters resist Status-elemental Spells, including Fog.
