Light Sphere

You may spend a spell point to create an eruption of light, causing all creatures and objects within a 10 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels radius centered within range to glow. You do not need to make a ranged touch attack against any creature within this area. You may only make a single target glow brightly as part of applying an area glow chosen after the targets are affected.

You may bend the light produced by your glows, allowing you to create spaces untouched by their light. When you cause a glow to shed normal or bright light, you may choose a number of 5-foot cubes in the area of light it produces, up to a maximum of 1 +1 per 2 caster levels. These cubes do not need to be contiguous. The selected area is unaffected by your glow; its light level does not change, and it is not subject to the effects of any (light) talents applied to the glow. If the glow moves, this omitted area moves with it. You may alter what areas are affected and unaffected by your light as a free action.

As a free action you may cause any glow within your range to shed non-visible light. While shedding non-visible light, a glow does not outline a creature with light, impose a Stealth penalty, or increase light levels within its radius. However, (light) talents applied to the glow still function as if it was shedding light in its normal area.

A glow shedding non-visible light functions normally even in magical darkness and does not hinder the function of magical darkness in the same area. No magical skill check is made when a glow under the effects of Black Light interacts with magical darkness.

You may create a glow effect without the need for a creature or object. This allows you to create a floating ball of light that may fly up to 60 feet per round and may be directed as a free action. You may give these lights simple commands, such as following a creature you can see or traveling in a specified pattern.

By increasing the casting time of your glow by one step or by spending a spell point you may apply two (nimbus) talents to a single glow effect, causing it to shed light in the area defined in both (nimbus) talents. Alternatively, you may choose to apply a single (nimbus) talent while also shedding light in the normal radius of your glow, or apply a single (nimbus) talent twice. Creatures in overlapping areas are still only affected by (light) talents and other effects of your glow once.

By spending a spell point you can simultaneously apply two different (light) talents you possess to your glow. The effect of each talent is resolved separately, and you must pay the spell point costs of each one individually, though other costs (such as for metamagic or maintaining bright light without concentration) are only incurred once.

As a swift action you can expend one of your glow effects within range of your glow ability, causing it to blaze up momentarily before dying completely, ending the effect. The target of the glow effect takes 1d4 untyped damage per 2 caster levels (minimum 1d4), while all creatures within 5 feet + 5 feet per 10 caster levels of the target suffer half this damage. Affected creatures may attempt a Reflex save for half damage. If the target of your glow is Large or larger, choose one of its squares when determining the area of this effect.

You may choose to apply the effects of (light) talents at any point during your turn as a free action instead of only at the end of your turn. You may still only apply the effects of (light) talents once per round.

As a swift action you may spend a spell point to apply the effects of a (light) talent an additional time in a single round. This additional application may be activated separately from any other application of your (light) talents. This allows your (light) talent to affect a different area if the glow has moved or the area of its light has changed, but does not let you affect any given area or creature more than once per round.

As a free action you may cause any glow placed on yourself or an item in your possession to shed bright light in a 5-foot radius, activating the effects of (light) talents and other abilities that require bright light. You do not need to concentrate to maintain this smaller area of bright light, nor do you need to spend a spell point. You may still follow the normal rules for causing your glow effects to shed bright light in order to shed bright light in a larger area. If you have multiple glow effects that could benefit from this talent, you may only cause one of them to shine bright light this way, but may switch which one Glory affects as a free action once per turn. An item that leaves your possession (such as by being thrown or disarmed) loses the benefits of this talent until you recover it.

As a standard action you may touch a small container of liquid and instill a lens inside it, which functions as a potion or oil. You must spend a spell point to allow it to endure without concentration. You may also spend a spell point to create an instilled liquid that makes a target glow brightly, and can contain the effects of a single (light) talent you possess. An instilled liquid remains potent until you rest to regain spell points. If you have equipment on hand (such as an alchemy lab), the cost of bottles and water is considered negligible.

You may target food but not an already-magical item, such as a potion. All spell points must be spent and all variables of the sphere effect must be chosen at the time the instilled liquid is created. You cannot instill multiple effects in a single liquid, nor create multiple instilled liquids with a single action.

You may add up to 10 feet from the radius of your normal and bright light, as well as the distance to which light is increased by one step, or subtract any distance from the radius of your light. If you possess talents that would alter the area of your light such as the Beam talent, this increased or decreased radius is added in before the area is multiplied. You may alter the area of your light as a free action, but for the purpose of (light) talents you may only affect one area per round.

Alternatively, so long as you do not apply any (light) talents to your glow, you may increase the radius of your normal light to 40 feet and the radius of your bright light to 60 feet + 5 feet per caster level, and change the distance to which light is increased to the same amount.

You may not alter the area of bright light shed by the Glory talent with Intensity Control.

You always know the direction and distance to any creature or object under the effect of your glow. This has no effect if the creature or object is on another plane.

When you produce a glow, it lasts for 10 minutes per caster level instead of 1 minute per caster level. When spending a spell point to allow bright light to continue without concentration, it lasts for 10 minutes per caster level instead of 1 minute per caster level.

When you cause one of your glow effects to shed bright light by concentrating on it, you may choose for it to continue shedding bright light for two rounds even after you stop concentrating.

When using a lens, you may spend an additional spell point to affect an additional 1 creature per 2 caster levels (minimum 1) with the same lens at the same time. Each target must be within range. While you may maintain concentration on each lens at the same time, each lens is considered a separate sphere effect. When spending a spell point to allow the lenses to endure without concentration, the duration of each lens is decreased by one step to 10 minutes per caster level.

You may target creatures and objects within long range rather than medium range when applying a glow or lens, and when causing a glow effect to shed normal or bright light.

As a standard action, you may make a single weapon attack in conjunction with making a target glow. This casting cannot be reduced below a standard action, and does not provoke attacks of opportunity, unless as usual if making a ranged attack.

If the target is struck by the attack, it is also struck by the glow. If using a scatter weapon, the blast only applies to a single target, chosen at the time of attack.

Your glows may be composed of multiple colors, allowing you to outline or highlight specific portions of a glowing object or create art. When you cause your glow to shed light, you may also create patterns and different colors in the light it sheds, casting intricate designs on surfaces. These patterns may be highly detailed and complex, though creating art of high craftsmanship requires you to succeed on an appropriate Craft check, usually Craft (painting). You determine and create the pattern as part of making the glow or light, but may change it as a free action once per turn.

As a standard action you can cause one of your glows that is shedding light to stain a surface with its light, painting its current pattern on any portion of the glow’s area. The ability to stain a surface is an instantaneous effect, so the resulting stain is non-magical and functions as a mundane dye that cannot be dispelled, though it may be cleaned off or painted over. Unwilling targets may attempt a Reflex save to avoid being stained, and a 5-foot cube may be cleaned of these stains with a full minute of work.

If you also possess the Dancing Lights talent, you may alter the shape and appearance of your light. It may be as large as a full 5-foot cube, or as small as a mote of dust, though its size has no impact on the light it sheds. Regardless of how intricate or well shaped your Dancing Light is, it is impossible to mistake as anything other than a magical light.

The target of this lens fires with more precision. They treat targets of their ranged attacks as being one range increment closer for all effects, such as when determining penalties for firing at a longer range. In addition, they gain a +1 competence bonus to all ranged attack rolls.

For every ten caster levels you possess, the target ignores an additional range increment and their competence bonus to ranged attack rolls increases by 1.

You can cause light and color to shift around a target, granting it the ability to blend in with its surroundings. The target gains a circumstance bonus to Stealth checks equal to your casting ability modifier. This does not stack with bonuses from invisibility. An object hidden in this way requires a Perception check to notice (DC 10 + the object’s size modifier + your casting ability modifier). In addition, the target gains the ability to hide even while being observed, though the target cannot move more than 5 feet each round to use this benefit.

You cause a target to suffer no ill effects from light. The target of this (lens) talent is immune to the negative effects of your glows, including the effects of any (light) talents applied to them. It also gains no visibility related penalties from your glows, acting as if they did not exist in the area. It suffers no penalties from light sensitivity.

You may place a lens upon a creature that subtly controls light around them. This is a powerful aid to communication, and can be used to communicate basic ideas and emotions to anyone who can see the creature. In addition, the creature gains a +2 circumstance bonus to Bluff and Diplomacy checks against creatures that can see them with conventional or low-light vision, with a +1 increase every 4 caster levels. At the GM’s discretion, this bonus may also apply to certain types of Perform checks as well.

You may slightly shift the spectrum of light, granting the target the ability to see heat. This allows them to ignore the miss chance for less than total concealment on living creatures. In addition, the target is capable of tracking living creatures by the heat they leave in their tracks. So long as the trail is no more than an hour old, the ground condition is never treated as worse than soft ground (DC 10), though strong temperature conditions (such as winter snow or a desert noon) can negate this benefit.

You allow light to partially pass through your target and move in strange ways around them, making it difficult to perceive their exact position. Once per round when the target is attacked, but before the attack is rolled, they can choose to have the attacker roll twice and take the lower result. For every ten caster levels you possess you may cause this to happen an additional time per round.

Opponents that rely solely on non-visual senses (such as blindsight) or that cannot see the target ignore this penalty.

By altering the path of light you can see from unusual positions. You may place and see from a sensor in any unoccupied space within your glow range that you can draw an unobstructed line to. You may see from the position of the sensor as if you stood in the space it occupies, and may shift your perspective to or from that sensor as a free action. These sensors can be detected (Perception DC 20 + your caster level) and dispelled.

The target’s vision is tinted a soft-red. As a standard action, the target of this lens may fire a blinding burst of light as either a 30-foot cone or 60-foot line centered on the target. Creatures caught in the area of effect must succeed at a Reflex save or be blinded for 1 round, and dazzled for one minute. The target must wait at least 1d4 rounds between uses of this ability.

When using this (lens) talent to fire a blinding burst, the target may end this (lens) talent as a free action to cause creatures who fail their Reflex saving throw to also take 1d4 points of fire damage per caster level.

When you place a glow effect on a creature, you may choose to grant that creature a +1 morale bonus on saves against fear. This bonus increases by 1 for every 5 caster levels possessed. You may spend a spell point to create bright light that empowers those within it. All creatures within the area under the effect of a fear effect are allowed a new saving throw at the effect’s original saving throw to end the effect, if one was originally given.

So long as a creature is within this area of bright light, whenever they attempt a saving throw vs. a new fear effect, they may roll twice and take the better result.

When you cause a creature to glow, you may choose to make that target dazzled, giving it a -1 penalty to attack rolls and Perception checks.

You may spend a spell point to create bright light that blinds the glowing target and all creatures within the area of bright light. All creatures must succeed at a Fortitude save or be blinded for 1 round. They must attempt this saving throw each round they are within this area. Creatures who succeed at their saving throw are still dazzled for that round.

You may spend a spell point to create a bright light that binds the glowing target inside a prison of light. The target is entangled and must succeed at a Fortitude save each round or also be staggered for that round. In addition, the target must succeed at a magic skill check to use any form of dimensional travel, such as the dimension door spell or the teleport ability from the Warp sphere.

You may create bright light that covers an area in confusing colors and designs. All squares in the area of this bright light are considered difficult terrain.

By spending a spell point you can make the patterns of the bright light even more intricate and confusing. Each round a creature is within the area, it must attempt a Will save or fall prone.

Blind creatures (or creatures that have closed their eyes for at least 1 round) and creatures that do not rely on sight are immune to the effects of this talent.

You may spend a spell point to create bright light that encompasses the glowing creature, allowing it to function as if it were larger than it is. The glowing creature deals damage and gains reach as if it were 1 size category larger than it is. This improves by one size category for every 10 caster levels possessed.

You can create bright light that makes everything and everyone within the area of the bright light translucent enough that they can be seen through. This includes creatures, objects, structures, and even the ground itself. Objects are not invisible, however, and seeing through them is difficult. Objects that grant cover still grant concealment, but any creature using such an object to hide receives a -10 penalty to their Stealth. Magical fog effects are countered by this Light talent the way magical darkness can be countered by Light talents. Effects based on light (such as most Light sphere abilities) can pass through to affect other objects, but other effects are still stopped by solid objects.

This light can be placed on a single structure to make it translucent. If the structure is larger than the area of the glow, then only part of the structure is made translucent.

You may create bright light that partially assimilates a glowing creature and its carried equipment, allowing them to momentarily shed their physical form. A creature under this effect can choose to move through solid objects as long as there are no factors that block normal sight (such as concealment from darkness or fog). This allows them to pass through transparent barriers like glass or through impossibly small gaps (such as a keyhole), but not objects affected by Fenestrate.

When you cause a creature to glow, you may choose to grant all creatures a +1 circumstance bonus to attack rolls against that target, +1 per 10 caster levels. When causing that creature to shed bright light, you may increase this bonus to +2, +1 per 5 caster levels. This has no effect on other creatures within the area of bright light.

You may spend a spell point when creating bright light to fascinate creatures. All creatures within this area of bright light that can see become fascinated (Will negates) for as long as they remain within this area of bright light. These targets take no action on their turn but to stare into the light, and suffer a -4 penalty to all Perception checks. A target is allowed a new saving throw each round to throw off the effect, and on a successful save, may make their actions as normal. Once a target has saved against this effect, they are immune to the effect for the rest of its duration. Hostile action taken against a hypnotized target automatically breaks the effect, as if the target had succeeded at their saving throw. If the target was already in combat when this ability is used, they gain a +2 bonus to their initial saving throw.

You grant a creature that you have caused to glow brightly a weapon of light they may wield as a weapon. The weapon can be shaped into any melee weapon the holder is proficient with as a swift action, and initially appears as whatever weapon they choose. On a hit, this does an additional 1d4 fire damage + 1d4 damage for every 4 caster levels that you possess.

The weapon can not harm invisible or translucent enemies or structures, and passes through them harmlessly, possibly damaging things on the other side. Targets that are reflective such as a mirror have a 50% miss chance against attacks with this weapon. If the creature deliberately lets go of the weapon, it disappears, but otherwise the creature can not be disarmed.

You may target a weapon to grant it this additional fire damage, as if it were a weapon of light. This extra damage is subject to the same restrictions as a weapon of light (does not affect invisibile or translucent targets, 50% chance of not affecting reflective creatures).

Your glow sheds ionizing radiation along with visible light. When you cause a target to glow you may choose to make it sickened, giving it a -2 penalty to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

By spending a spell point to create bright light you can increase the intensity of the radiation. All creatures in the area of this bright light must succeed at a Fortitude save or be nauseated for one round. They must attempt this saving throw each round they are within this area. Creatures that succeed on their saving throw are still sickened for that round.

You may create an area of bright light that lures creatures towards it. All creatures in the area of your light must succeed at a Will save or be compelled to move towards the source of the glow on their turns. An affected creature capable of movement must make at least one move action towards the source of the glow each turn, and cannot intentionally move away from it unless they must backtrack to get closer to it. A creature may attempt a new Will save each turn they are in the light of the glow, and after successfully saving once they are immune to your use of this talent for 24 hours. If a creature is in the area of multiple lure lights, they move towards the closest, or towards the glow of their choice if they are equidistant. A creature will not intentionally harm themselves when moving towards a lure. They will not throw themselves off cliffs or into lava to pursue a glow, though they will move as close as possible without risking themselves.

The effect of this (light) talent is considered a mind-affecting effect.

You may spend a spell point to create bright light on an object 2 or more sizes smaller than yourself, that compels those who see it to try and acquire it. Those who see the targeted object spend their turn frantically trying to acquire the precious object.

They will not automatically become violent, and affected creatures will not attempt to acquire the precious object if attempting to do so would be obviously fatal, would inflict serious injury upon them, or be against their alignment or nature. They will not ignore enemies either, but their priority will be to acquire the precious object.

They will try to acquire the object by direct and immediate means (not by bribery) and they will not stop just because they lose sight of the object. A creature might attack someone to acquire the object, but only if it is someone they might consider attacking anyways, and most likely they will try to grab the object and run rather than fight in a prolonged conflict.

If the creature manages to acquire the precious object, they hold it in their hands and admire it as a standard action on their turn, doing whatever is required to keep it other than letting it go.

Each creature gets a Will save to negate the effect when they first see the precious object, and a new save whenever they spend a standard action admiring the object. You are immune to this effect, but your allies are not.

This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect.

When you cause a creature to glow, you can help eradicate toxic substances they are afflicted with, granting them a +1 circumstance bonus on all Fortitude saves against poisons and diseases, increasing by 1 for every 10 caster levels. When you cause an object to glow, as an instantaneous effect you may purify rotten, diseased or poisonous food and drink, causing it to become suitable for consumption. This has no effect on magical diseases or poisons.

You may spend a spell point to create a light of purification. Creatures within the area of the bright light gain a +2 circumstance bonus on saves against contracting new diseases and against the application of new poisons, increasing by 1 for every 4 caster levels. Additionally, as long as a creature currently suffering from a disease or poison stays within the bright light, all diseases and poisons currently active on them are suppressed, and any penalties bestowed by the disease no longer affect the creature, although this does not remove any ability damage, drain or negative levels the disease already bestowed. This does not stop the spread of diseases or poisons, nor makes creatures immune to them, but simply prevents the application of new effects they would suffer from additional saving throws.

You may spend a spell point to create light that repels unwanted creatures. Choose one creature type. In the case of humanoids and outsiders, you must instead choose one subtype.

Any creature of this type or subtype within the area of bright light must succeed at a Fortitude save or be unable to move closer to the source of the light. Affected creatures may move sideways or backwards, but cannot move closer, although the source of the light may move closer to them. Creatures who succeed at their saving throw but remain within the area of bright light must attempt a new saving throw every round to avoid being affected.

If a creature enters this area of bright light (or if the source of bright light moves close to them), they must immediately save or be affected.

You may spend a spell point to create bright light that reveals all invisible creatures and objects. These creatures and objects lose all the benefits of invisibility for as long as they are within the area of bright light.

You may place a glow on a source of written information, such as a book, to cause it to reveal any information deliberately recorded in it. Anyone who takes even a moment to examine the light (a free action) can read the entire body of work, regardless of length, damage to the text or language barriers - the observer does not even need to be able to read. Even erased text can be read.

If information is recorded with a magical protection that prevents detection or understanding, the caster may attempt a magic skill check against the MSD of the caster to determine if the information can be detected or understood. Once absorbed, the information can be retained as reading any other book can, and for a period of 1 hour after reading, the information remains especially clear. During this time, any creature attempting a Knowledge check on a topic relevant to the written work receives a +2 circumstance bonus to the check, with +1 increase every 4 caster levels.

This ability may be used on objects with no visible writing, in order to reveal hidden messages. The light can allow a person to read a magical scroll, but does not necessarily allow them to cast or copy it. Observing the light does not trigger magical effects that occur in response to an object being read.

You may create bright light that burns targets in its area. All creatures in the area suffer 1 point of fire damage per caster level per round they are within this area of bright light. Undead, oozes, and creatures harmed by daylight take 2 points of fire damage per caster level. This does not affect the target of the glow itself.

Creatures who have a glow placed directly upon them (or their equipment) augmented by the Searing Light talent may as a full-round action attempt a Reflex save to extinguish the bright light, causing the glow to shed only normal light for the remainder of the effect and preventing further damage caused by Searing Light.

You may place a glow on a manufactured weapon, a piece of armor or a shield. When placed on a weapon, it does full damage to incorporeal creatures. If placed on a shield or piece of armor, you may apply its full bonus to AC against the melee attacks of incorporeal creatures.

If you cause this glow to shed bright light, you can cause the glowing item to duplicate the effect of any single metal or material, chosen when this ability is used. The glowing object counts as a material for weaknesses and damage reduction, but is not otherwise that material.

When you place a glow effect on a creature, you may choose to deal it 1d4 nonlethal fire damage per 2 caster levels (minimum 1d4). The creature takes this damage each round the glow is in effect. A successful Fortitude save negates the damage for that round, while two consecutive Fortitude saves ends the effect.

If you cause this glow to shed bright light, the target also becomes fatigued the next time they take nonlethal damage from this effect. If they are already fatigued, they instead become exhausted. This fatigue or exhaustion cannot be recovered from until the target has been healed of the nonlethal damage taken from this effect.

When you cause a creature to glow, you may spend a spell point to overwhelm the target of the glow with visual stimulation. The target must succeed at a Will save each round the glow is in effect on them or be staggered for one round. When causing a glow to shed bright light the target must succeed at a Will save every round the bright light persists or become dazed for one round instead of staggered.

Two consecutive successful Will saves against the glow ends the effect.

When you cause a glow effect to shed normal or bright light, you can focus this light into a cone (doubling the affected distance) or a line (quadrupling the affected distance). This also doubles or quadruples the distance to which light is increased one step to a maximum of normal light. You may change the direction the light projects as well as switch whether the light is a cone, line, or an emanation each once per round as a free action.

When causing a glow effect to shed normal or bright light, as a free action you may cause it to trail light behind it rather than radiate light normally. The glow sheds normal or bright light in any square it passes through during the round, and the light 20 feet away from any square of this area (or 30 feet + 5 feet per 2 caster levels away if shedding bright light) is increased by one step to a maximum of normal. If you return the light’s area to normal or change between (nimbus) talents, any trail left behind is removed.

When causing a glow effect to shed normal light or bright light, you may shape this light into strange shapes as a free action. It illuminates an area that you form of a number of 5-foot cubes, with each cube placed adjacent to the target of the glow or another cube. For normal light you may place up to 20 5-foot cubes, and with bright light you may place up to 30, plus another for each 2 caster levels you possess. The light 20 feet away from any square of this area (or 30 feet + 5 feet per 2 caster levels away if shedding bright light) is increased by one step to a maximum of normal. With the Intensity Control talent you may add an additional 5-foot cube per 5 feet of radius you would add to your area, and increase or decrease the radius in which light is increased by 10 feet. You may change the light’s area or return it to its normal area as a free action, but for the purpose of (light) talents you may only affect one area per round.

Prerequisites: Light sphere, caster level 10th.

When causing an object to shed bright light, you may spend 2 additional spell points to cause the object to shed bright light for a 2 mile radius and normal light for 5 miles beyond that.

Prerequisites: Light sphere (Flicker (light)), caster level 7th.

Your Flicker talent becomes more nuanced and refined. Rather than allowing someone to simply turn into a single body of light, you give them the ability to split themselves into multiple reflections. When a creature under the effects of your Flicker takes a move action, they may choose to move in two separate directions and end their move in two different locations. When they take their next action or the next time they are attacked or targeted at one of these locations, whichever is sooner, they must decide which of these positions they are actually in.

Prerequisites: Light sphere (Lingering Glow), caster level 1st.

By spending a spell point you can make a glow permanent, so long as it is not placed on an unwilling target. This also transfers control over the glow effect to anyone who holds the object, or the creature affected, allowing them to choose when to shed light or to simply glow. They may also turn the glow off completely as a move action, or turn it on again as a standard action.

These permanent glows cannot be caused to shed bright light, and cannot have (light) talents applied to them. Any alterations of the glow’s area or other qualities must be applied and determined when it is made permanent and cannot be changed; a permanent glow may only possess one unchangeable Style that cannot stain its surroundings, and may only have one (nimbus) talent applied, which cannot be changed after the glow is created, though the direction of talents such as Beam can be altered as a free action normally.

Prerequisites: Light sphere (Flicker (light)), caster level 15th.

When using the Flicker (light) talent, you can spend two spell points to more completely assimilate the target, turning them into a form composed of pure light. In addition to the normal effects of the Flicker talent, the target gains the following benefits:

• Immunity to nonmagical attack forms. Even when attacked with magical abilities and magic weapons, the target takes only half damage from any corporeal source. Corporeal effects that do not deal damage only have a 50% chance of working. Force effects work on the target normally, and the ghost touch special ability can affect the target as if it were incorporeal.
• The target loses any natural armor bonus it possesses, but gains a deflection bonus equal to your casting ability modifier.
• The target can move in any direction with its base land speed, effectively gaining a fly speed with perfect maneuverability. In addition, the target passes through water and operates in it as easily as it does in air, becomes weightless and cannot fall or take falling damage.
• The target moves silently and cannot be heard with Perception checks if it does not wish to be heard. Nonvisual senses such as scent or blindsight are ineffective in regards to the target.

Prerequisites: Light sphere (Flicker (light), Incarnate Glow (advanced)), caster level 15th.

While a target is under the effects of Incarnate Glow, they can take advantage of their near-light state to move at much greater speeds. Whenever the target takes a move, run, withdraw or 5-foot step action, as long as they move in a straight line and there are no factors that block normal sight (such as concealment from darkness or fog), they may move five times the normal distance they would travel.

In addition, the target may briefly move at light speed. This functions as a single run action, following the normal rules for run and movement, except the target may not pass through factors that block normal sight (such as concealment from darkness or fog), but may otherwise run 100 miles per caster level in a line as part of a single action. After taking this action, the glow and all its effects (including the effects of Flicker, Incarnate Glow, and Light Speed) immediately end.

Prerequisites: Light sphere (Searing Light (light), Style), caster level 15th.

By spending three spell points to create bright light, you cause your glow to shed a dazzling array of beautiful and deadly colors. Each round a creature is within the area of this bright light, roll 1d8 to determine what effect the light has on them.

Prerequisites: Light sphere (Irradiance (light)), caster level 10th.

When you spend a spell point to create bright light with the Irradiance talent, you may spend an additional spell point to create higher energy radiation. Creatures in the area who fail the Fortitude save against nausea also contract low radiation, as described in the Radiation Blast advanced Destruction talent. This cannot stack with itself to increase radiation to higher levels, but can stack with other sources of radiation.

Prerequisites: Light sphere (Intensity Control), caster level 10th.

When you use the Intensity Control talent you may spend a spell point to increase the radius of your normal and bright light (as well as the distance at which light is increased by one step) by 25 feet + 5 feet per 2 levels instead of just by 10 feet. If you exercise this option, you may also spend an additional spell point when creating bright light to cause the central 30 feet + 5 feet per 2 caster level radius to be equivalent to daylight for all purposes, including for creatures that are damaged or destroyed by such light.
