“Even in the darkest, and most dreary of places shalt I bestow light upon thee” -Unknown mages’ tome.
Introduction
Magelight in essence is the ability for a magic users with a certain affinity for Transfiguration magic or household magic (Though to a smaller degree) to alter the world around them and create light around them in varying colors, and being able to form light as dim as a candle or as bright as the sun itself in some cases, in order to provide light in the dark, or to ward away different creatures. Normally magelight will take on the appearance of a simple orb of light that is cast from the palms of one's hands though truly is up to the mage how they aesthetically cast it and may differ from mage to mage.
How
Magelight is formed via the alteration of the very air around you using voidal magic. Similar to how a cleric may create clerical light though very much different in having no holy properties to it. Though, it is more versatile. The mage must first connect their minds to the void like all other void magics. Once connected the mystic will then focus on a point around them in which they plan to create the magelight. After focusing on the point the mage is then able to form the light, by replicating it in the void and much like evocation summoning the light from the void. The magic normally isn’t very taxing if used simply to light up an area masters of arcana being able to summon the magelight forth almost indefinitely with little strain or fatigue. (Basically if used solely as a light source it would take up little to no mana) The second part to magelight requiring more experienced mages who practice the arts of transfiguration is being able to heighten the intensity of the light they summon. Though, it cannot compete with a cleric’s light to be used to blind people for a short while it is possible if used with enough mana to replicate the brightness of the sun though most likely for a short amount of time as it would be taxing to create such intense light for longer than a few moments without feeling a significant strain in the mages’ mana pool. This effect could be used as a distraction or to ward away more unsavory creatures of the night.
Aesthetics
Aesthetically It is really up to the caster of the magelight how they want to conjure the light and even how it looks able to take on the appearance of different colors of light from reds, greens, yellows, white and so on. Though leaving out blacklight as characters ICly most likely wouldn’t be able to study it or know what it is.
Redlines
- Mage light is a household magic when used as simple orbs of light (Up to the brightness of a torch)
- Only transfigurationists can ramp up the light to a much more brighter state brighter than simple orbs of light. Basically anything brighter than a torch.
- The light produces no heat, it is simply creating light
- The light cannot directly harm dark creatures like holy magic does, it's just light!
