That will help you determine when to cast the spell, but you can
also use it to determine the duration of the spell as well. It wouldn't
make sense to have a spell that is only supposed to work at night last
until noon the next day.
If you're looking for specific effects, like the tough one;
lycanthropy, you'll have to perform more global coding routines, if
they're not attached to spells directly.
