Light


	Description

	This is a common effect: creating magical light in an area. The light created can be of any hue or shade desired, although brightness varies with potency.


	Effects

	Light is generally created at Touch range, in the form of a glowing globe around a hand, or just overhead, or centered on some object, like the end of a staff. Creating light at a greater range would also require the Removed Temper Aspect. Note that because Sorcery effects are not natural, the light does end abruptly at the edge of the area of effect.
