# Daylight *3rd-level, Evocation*  - **Casting time:** 1 Action - **Range:** 60 feet - **Components:** V, S - **Duration:** 1 hour For the duration, sunlight spreads from a point within range and fills a 60-foot-radius [Sphere](/3-Mechanics/CLI/variant-rules/sphere-area-of-effect-xphb.md). The sunlight's area is [Bright Light](/3-Mechanics/CLI/variant-rules/bright-light-xphb.md) and sheds [Dim Light](/3-Mechanics/CLI/variant-rules/dim-light-xphb.md) for an additional 60 feet. Alternatively, you cast the spell on an object that isn't being worn or carried, causing the sunlight to fill a 60-foot [Emanation](/3-Mechanics/CLI/variant-rules/emanation-area-of-effect-xphb.md) originating from that object. Covering that object with something opaque, such as a bowl or helm, blocks the sunlight. If any of this spell's area overlaps with an area of [Darkness](/3-Mechanics/CLI/variant-rules/darkness-xphb.md) created by a spell of level 3 or lower, that other spell is dispelled. **Classes**: [Bard (College of Lore)](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-college-of-lore-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Bard](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Cleric (Light Domain)](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-light-domain-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Cleric](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-cleric.md); [Druid](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-druid.md); [Paladin](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-paladin.md); [Ranger](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-ranger.md); [Sorcerer](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Warlock (Celestial Patron)](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-celestial-patron-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB") *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 260.
