It lights the dungeon around the wearer.

Light is an ego found only on orbs. Like the unrand Eos, characters wielding an orb of light illuminates a 3-tile halo around them. The halo increases accuracy of everything in it, reveals invisible creatures, and decreases stealth.

Strategy

• The orb can be used as a bootleg see invisible, especially if you don't have another shield, or don't want to invest in the shields skill.
• The halo's to-hit boost disproportionately effects low accuracy attackers, such as low level characters or your plethora of summons.

History

The Light ego, along with orbs themselves, was introduced in 0.28.
