I like evil-themed abilities :) so here's some critique


Darkness's demise [General]

Prerequisites: Ability to smite evil
Benefits: You gain two extra uses of Smite evil, but they only work on a evil-aligned plane of you choice.

There is a feat in Complete warrior that gives 2 extra smites without any requirement. Also only one Evil plane is a harsh requirement, make it Any evil plane.
So i suggest a) giving 3 or 4 smites on evil plane
b) on evil planes smites are per encounter not per day
c) add ability damage, slow or nausea for some rounds (this with a save to negate) or anything else to your smite when it is used on evil planes

Material Component: The eye of a good creature

While there are custom spells with fixed range, better make that spell a close or medium range spell. I would err towards medium since it is based on dispel magic.

Also Dispel spells in general do not have saves nor are they affected by SR so its better to base it on an opposed caster level check (vs good creatures you gain a +4 bonus on the check and vs good outsiders you would gain a +8, evil creatures are unaffected). That removes the "auto-win" factor vs good creatures and brings it in line with all dispels.

About its level: I believe 4th is low since its an area dispel that has a chance to dispel ALL spells from all their targets (like Chain Dispel). Its a picky spell though (it dispels only some spells but it doesn't dispel spells on your allies) so i would make it a good 5th level or a mediocre 6th level (improve the range to medium though).


More to come!

Peacenlove: Don't think Dispel Magic, think Invisibility Purge (the 3.0 version was instant I think). Thus the lack of an opposed roll for spells cast by Good casters.
