<p>The wording of the card is: </p>

<p>(Empahsis mine)</p>

<p>Normally, darkness forces you to spend a <strong>movement</strong> step in addition to the regular <strong>action</strong> step to explore and to also receive <strong>-2</strong> to attribute tests in combat. This card just makes it so that whenever you explore, you apply the penalty of spending an additional <strong>movement</strong> step.</p>

<p>This trauma doesn't affect combat. If the player with the trauma is not exploring, penalty doesnt apply. </p>

<p>Either way, the room is technically <strong>not in darkness</strong>.  </p>

<p>Based on this, I would rule it as invalid as playing a card that required a room to be in darkness.</p>

Thanks for the response, but based on the qualifier does that mean the only detriment to the effected player is the move+explore action for exploring?

<p>With the "Loss of Vision" mythos card, can the keeper play additional mythos cards that require the investigator to be in a room with darkness for any room that investigator is in?</p>

<p>I interpreted as yes, but only effecting that specific investigator though it's caused some debate amongst our group.</p>

<p>We'd appreciate any insight.</p>

The wording of the card is:

> Whenever you **explore**, treat the room as if it were in darkness.

(Empahsis mine)

Normally, darkness forces you to spend a **movement** step in addition to the regular **action** step to explore and to also receive **-2** to attribute tests in combat. This card just makes it so that whenever you explore, you apply the penalty of spending an additional **movement** step.

This trauma doesn't affect combat. If the player with the trauma is not exploring, penalty doesnt apply.

Either way, the room is technically **not in darkness**.

Based on this, I would rule it as invalid as playing a card that required a room to be in darkness.
