Bugs

• Although exposing Duergar, Drow and other NPCs to either variant of this spell does trigger  Sunlight Sensitivity, it will not show any status effect for the player to see (e.g., as a passive or condition on their character sheets, if examined), yet one can check the combat logs to see the effects of  Disadvantage being applied.
• Although the in-game description of the enchant item variant lists a 20-turn limit, if applied to a character, the effect will be applied to their held main-hand weapon until long rest and will persist even if the caster is no longer in the active party.
