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 emit a 3-tile halo. The halo increases accuracy against everything illuminated by 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 affects low-accuracy attackers, such as low-level characters or your plethora of summons.
  • Remember that the halo will also impact your invisibility! Don't rely on invisibility to handle a difficult situation while wielding this orb.

History

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