Faerie Fire
1st-level Evocation
Faerie Fire
Components: V
Each object in a 20-foot cube within range is outlined in blue, green, or violet light (your choice). Any creature in the area when the spell is cast is also outlined in light if it fails a dexterity saving throw. For the duration, objects and affected creatures shed dim light in a 10-foot radius.
Any attack roll against an affected creature or object has advantage if the attacker can see it, and the affected creature or object can't benefit from being invisible.

Counsel
Faerie Fire, Answered
What does Faerie Fire actually do?
It outlines everything in a 20-foot cube in light. Attack rolls against an outlined creature have advantage if the attacker can see it, and outlined creatures cannot benefit from being invisible. Creatures get a Dexterity save when it is cast.
Does Faerie Fire require concentration?
Yes — concentration, up to 1 minute. That is the real cost of an otherwise absurdly efficient 1st-level spell.
Does Faerie Fire reveal invisible creatures?
It stops them benefiting from invisibility, which is what matters in a fight — your attacks no longer suffer disadvantage and gain advantage instead. They still get a Dexterity save when you cast it.
What classes get Faerie Fire?
In the SRD it appears on the druid list. Other classes and subclasses reach it in the wider game, but the SRD entry is the druid one.
