By casting open clouds a priest can create an opening in an otherwise closed cloud-cover, so that he and other creatures in the area of effect can benefit from direct sunlight or, at night, moonlight and starlight. The spell lasts for 1 round per level of the priest casting the spell, and will only work outdoors.
The illuminated sphere remains stationary unless the priest who has cast the spell concentrates on its movement - the level of concentration needed to achieve this makes it impossible for him to cast other spells or to engage in melee.
The reversed spell, create cloud (Conjuration), conjures forth a small cloud in the sky that blocks all direct light from one major celestial body. The magical cloud can be moved in the same way as the opening created by the normal spell.
The material component for both spells is the priest's holy symbol.
