Light Magic

Spells that come from the cosmic force of light act as a counterbalance to those that come from the cosmic force of shadow. Light magic is the manifestation of holy powers that are wielded by priests and those that follow the various religions in the world. It can heal and protect against darkness, as well as smite enemies with searing brilliance
