Same as 5eYou already know this as 5e Darkness — This is your Darkness spell exactly — 15-foot sphere darkvision can't penetrate that dispels lower-level light, just reflavored as a Force power. ✨
Fill a 15-foot sphere with impenetrable darkness for up to 10 minutes — darkvision cannot pierce it and normal light is snuffed out.

Darkness spreads from a point you choose within range to fill a 15-foot-radius sphere until the power ends. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can't see through this darkness, and unenhanced light can't illuminate it.
If the point you choose is on an object you are holding or one that isn't being worn or carried, the darkness comes from the object and moves with it. Completely covering the source of the darkness with an opaque object blocks the darkness.
If this power's area overlaps with light created by a 2nd-level power or lower, the light is dispelled.
