Description:	The Divine Radiance spell is a matrix of two possible patterns. The first will yield a glowing aura which enwreathes the caster, lighting the way in the darkness and eliminating the need for a torch or lantern. The second pattern will conjure an intense beam of holy light which will streak forth from the caster's palm to strike a specified foe. The physical force manifested by the blessed ray may cause enemies to stumble, and will briefly render them vulnerable to holy attacks.
Effect:	-Balance, Knock-down. Holy damage amplification. Light source.
Example Messaging:	Light source: You gesture. A glowing aura surrounds you. Knock Down: A small peccary is momentarily engulfed in a blossom of crackling light! < Moving in gracefully, you draw a steel scimitar at a small peccary. A small peccary attempts to dodge, avoiding only some of the blow. The scimitar lands a strong hit that just barely penetrates the skin to nick the stomach ('Tis but a scratch!).
Devices/Tattoos:	No devices or tattoos documented.

Notes

• When cast on yourself it provides a light source.
  • This version of the spell acts as a standard Utility spell with a 20 second prep time.
  • Can be placed into the Osrel Meraud orb.
• When cast on a creature or player it unbalances/knocks them down and amplifies damage from blessed weapon attacks.
  • To use this form of the spell on a target, cast it as though it was a targeted magic spell. E.g. TARGET DR, CAST. This has a 10 second target time and behaves like a battle spell.
  • The holy damage amplification works on any type of creature, not just undead/cursed. It effectively adds a holy flare to any holy based damage on the target while the effect lasts. E.g. a blessed weapon strike or a holy tm spell. This damage amplification only lasts for a very short duration.
  • This teaches Targeted Magic skill if cast on an appropriately skilled target and Utility skill if cast near personal spell cap, and will teach both if both conditions are met.
  • Does not cause empathic shock
