I'm playing on elvishly easy with permadeath. At least since the 3th or 4th floor, almost every time I encounter an enemy I get debuffed with the Shroud of Darkness.
I'm at level 7 now and the situation hasn't changed.
It is really unpleasant, since the effects stack and most of the time I can't see a single tile around me.
How can I get rid of it? Is there a way to find out what/who cast it at me? [I am playing with a handful of mods activated, but I've once beaten the game with them and never had this problem, so I don't suspect the problem lies there.]

It may be removed with a Potion of Purity or a Zodiacal Wand, though curse removal is likely something you'd prefer to save.
It is cast by Witchy, Monstrous Mask, Squiddy, and Lord Dredmor. If you can eliminate any of those, it wears off in a reasonable amount of time.
If you have something that gives additional sight radius, it might be worth an equipment slot to counteract some of the curse's effect directly. Non-equipment sources of sight radius include potions of Clear Vision, Astrology's Radiant Aura spell, and the Perception skill.
