The Light spell harnesses 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.

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 EVOKEd, 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 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 glimaerstones.
