<section begin=description /><noinclude>The '''Light''' spell harnesses</noinclude><includeonly>Harnesses</includeonly> the spiritual forces to control the level of illumination in the immediate area where the [[spell]] is cast.  Additional illumination or darkness may enhance or hinder combat-related actions.<section end=description />

The sudden illumination of an otherwise dark area may reveal [[hidden]] persons or creatures. This illumination lowers the [[defensive strength]] (DS) of everyone in the room by -10, including the caster.

When Light is {{boldmono|[[EVOKE]]}}d, the room will darken (formerly the '''Darkness''' spell).  This causes the area to be much darker than usual and increases a character's ability to hide.  It hinders many other abilities as well, such as [[Pick Locks|locksmithing]], in addition to hindering combat by providing all creatures (and characters) present with +20 bonus to DS.

With either version, the spell will dissipate shortly after the caster leaves the room.

The Light spell can also activate Truthie's [[glimaerstone]]s.
