Summary: I don't even know if this is an "Issue" However I just noticed that the default time for the Darkness Spell is coming up as 100 second or about 1.5 minutes instead of 600 seconds where I assume it should be for a 10 min spell effect length according to the 5e Ruleset. Is there a specific reason why this is shorter than 10 min, that I'm missing, or is this a bug?

Ruleset(s): 5E

Extensions/Themes:None

Modules Loaded:LMOP
Operating System / Language Setting:Win11/US English

Steps to Reproduce: Click on Spell - Darkness In the Effects Window. GM: [EFFECT LIGHT]: 15/15 darkness 100 I can easily fix this and adjust the duration under effects on the character in the combat tracker

Welcome to the FG forums!

That's 100 rounds not 100 seconds.

OHHHH, Rounds, perfect thank you.

I thought I was losing my mind. After I sent the above post, I started looking into the other lights durations and noticed that they too were egregiously low as well if we were using seconds. It didn't occur to me that FG is using rounds, I couldn't noodle-out the math.

Until now,
100 rounds x 6 sec/round = 600 sec/60 seconds to get minutes and ipso facto Darkness Spell duration = 10 minutes

Thanks again, I knew I was missing something.
