Fiat Lux — "Let There Be Light!"

( • • Forces or • • • Forces, • • Prime)                           Celestial Chorus Tradition Book  64

Perhaps the oldest magickal Effect in existence, this rote dispels darkness. A simple application may increase nearby light sources' power, while greater versions produce illumination from darkness itself.

[The lower-powered version intensifies existing light, doubling its power for every success gained- More experienced Choristers can produce light from nothingness. A single success produces the light of a single candle, while five or more rivals a halogen searchlight. The caster decides what form she wants this light to take — low-level ambient illumination over a wide area, an explosion or a narrowly focused spotlight beam.]

[Sudden bursts of light may disorient opponents for a turn or two. Such blasts last a moment, then go out. Intense light may drain a normal power source quickly. Beings susceptible to sunlight might take one Health Level's worth of normal damage for every success over the fifth, at the Storyteller's option. This Effect does not duplicate the effects of sunlight, though can it he used to intensify existing sunshine (add one more Health Level for every success).]
