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.

Blind is a decent Status Spell because it is surprisingly accurate, even if its effects aren't quite as dramatic on Monsters as they are on you (since Monsters don't care about leveling). You can find these dropped by Ogre Mages, or find them in chests on the Tropical Island. It's not a fantastic Spell, but it's not terrible by any means.
