The Night Unending

Phenomenon type: Bubble (Motivation: To keep inside things in and outside things out)

The Night Unending is a magical curse which creates a pocket dimension that simulates an endless, all consuming night.

The Night Unending is based around a magical anchor, an item such as a mirror or a watch, which when interacted with transports the victim and people in the general vicinity into the pocket dimension. The anchor activates at night, usually tricking the victims into thinking they are still in the real world.

The Night Unending resembles the section of the real world around the anchor, extending a mile. The only initial indicator that something is wrong is there is no natural light; the sky is totally empty, with no moon or stars. There is also no power or electricity, no lights working at all, and of course aside from the people pulled in the plane is entirely absent of life.

The Night Unending does not last forever; after twelve hours the realm begins to break down, disintigrating back into the darkness, within 24 hours only an area left the size of a house, a few hours after there will only be a room, then after that nothing. After the Night Unending collapses, anyone still inside will be gone forever, utterly consumed by the darkness.

Weaknesses: There are two ways to escape the Night Unending. The first is to destroy the anchor, this will dispel the Night Unending and return the victims to the real world. Of course the key is even realizing that you aren’t in the real world before its too late.

The other method is to use a bit of light to cast a shadow, which can be used to create a door back to the real world. Since there is no naturally occurring light in the Night Unending, it must be done with a light source brought from outside, like a flash light or a cell phone.
