Notes

• As of Hotfix #25, this spell grants the full Until Long Rest condition duration only when cast on a character. Objects like scenery or gear items lit up while on the ground receive 20 turn condition duration instead.
• When cast on a character, it will apply the effect to their active weapon.
  • Characters whose Armour Set Visibility setting is set to "Camp" will only shed light if they are actively making an attack (as in this mode the active weapon is not visible when stowed). However, the spell is still active and switching the setting back to Default will cause the light to appear again.
• Light has two incantations: Fiat Lux, Latin for "let there be light", and Sol Invictus, Latin for "unconquered sun".
