This seems reasonable. As far as the claims about it being too powerful in certain scenarios, it's almost (*) strictly inferior to blindness, and we hand that out to a number of classes at fairly low levels. It also matches the class's theme, even down to the help/harm duality embedded in a large number of their other spells (Disrupt/Repair, Slowing/Quickening, Harden/Soften, etc.).

We have some other ideas for the class that are currently being kicked around, and I'll add this into that mix. No guarantees about what comes out of the Design Machine (tm), though.

(*) Except for the deal about not being able to access potions from inventory. Being that we allow potion use by blind people, this seems excessive.
