Light (Skyrim)



Light, a spell effect of the Illusion school of magic, creates an artificial light with a green hue at the location of the target. The magnitude of the effect is the effective radius of the light source. Continual casting of a small magnitude, self-targeting spell with the Light effect is one of the best ways to increase the Illusion skill. At higher Alchemy levels, Light potions created by the player are much more powerful than any Light spell. While it may seem obvious to most, it should be noted that Light spells casted on yourself illuminate your character, making you easier to spot in dark areas.
