Utterdark and Second Sun

Hey, that's great news! First good news I've heard about pollution so far. Freaking sunlight. I hate freaking sunlight. So I guess we can have our cake and eat it, too: Get rid of the annoying sunlight, keep the warmth. What could be better?

Looking at it from a more fantastic and magical way, I think it would work like so:

Utterdark forms a shield around the world to keep out the sun's rays. Second Sun, after it's cast, may do the following...

A. Overpower Utterdark. If a mace struck a shield enough times or hard enough, it will splinter and shatter, so Second Sun would dispel Utterdark.

B. Be blocked out by the shield, so Utterdark dispels Second Sun.

C. Since Second Sun is a FIRE spell, dealing with heat, instead of an ASTRAL spell, dealing with light and celestial bodies (sounds like a description one might use in a porno... *shrug*). It wouldn't conflict in anyway with Utterdark, making it, in the words of Cheezeninja,"dark and hot... extra crappy."
