Tips

 * This spell can be used on any moving NPC. When it hits them, it acts as a little assistant and will follow the NPC until the time duration is up. However, if you attempt to cast it twice on the same person or creature while one orb is still floating around, the game will freeze. (360)
 * Combined with Frost Rune, Fire Rune or shock rune, Magelight becomes a decent Destruction spell.
 * Magelight is a helpful spell to level up Alteration when low levels, as you can cast it anywhere at anytime with no negative repercussions.
