Ethereal Glow

Summon a small orb of illusory light that hovers at your command, illuminating dark spaces: no darkness penalties to hitting or casting, and hidden traps are easier to spot. Its glow makes you easier to see and hear, and nothing lit can strike from hiding.

Every hero starts with this Illusion light spell in slot 1 of both quick presets. It needs no Illusion proficiency and has no missing-proficiency mana surcharge.

When its last active effect on you ends, the log shows “Light out: Ethereal Glow”. Expiration, dispelling and actions that break the effect all count; refreshing it does not.

Effects

Cast in a test arena at its best: spent 24 mana; caster gains Light +13 for 20 turns, Noise +100% for 20 turns, Visibility +100% for 20 turns, Detect Traps +68% for 20 turns; placed: Ethereal Glow attached to the caster (the scene shows it and applies any contact effects; see Effects).

Effect strengths describe potential output. Projectile and area contacts are not simulated, and abilities that need a chest, trap or another special target still require that situation in play.
