Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to aim.
Range: 100 yards.

Everything in a two-yard-radius area briefly emits soft light. This does not help in combat, but allows everyone within the line of sight to the area to make a Vision roll with no darkness penalties to get a snapshot of what’s in the area. While this won’t aid attacks on moving targets, it will reveal whether people or objects are present. To place the area at a distance, use Innate Attack (Gaze), with normal range penalties, but at +4 for affecting an area.
Statistics: Obscure Vision 10 (Nuisance Effect, Does not increase illumination above zero, -15%; Ranged, +50%; Reduced Duration, 1/20, -25%; Reversed, -0%; Sorcery, -15%; Variable, Area, +5%) [20]. Further levels add Area Effect (+50%) to the advantage [+10].
