Interruptible Light

This spell creates a round spot that radiates a beam of bright light. The spell must be cast on a person or item. The beam created is about four inches in diameter and illuminates an area in a direct line from the place it originates, to a range of 60 feet. Of course, the light can be seen by others for a much greater distance.

The light is as bright as full daylight and lasts until negated by magical darkness or a dispel magic. Creatures that suffer penalties in bright light surfer them if the beam is directed at their eyes. Creatures that try to avoid looking at the light are allowed a saving throw vs. paralyzation, with success indicating that they are not dazzled.

The caster-or other person named at the time of casting-has mental control over the light, and can order it to turn off or on at will.

Notes: Common in the Red Steel setting; virtually unknown elsewhere.
