Notes[edit]

  • Stability and Alteration Dual Casting perk effects stack rendering its duration to 198 secs, if cast with both hands.
  • Understandably not recommended for stealth. Magelight may be preferable in these situations as it doesn't constantly reveal your location.
  • NPCs will comment on the light if you approach them with it active.
  • Interestingly, during the Dragonborn add-on, when entering some Black Books where dark areas can inflict damage, this spell, and Magelight by extension, has the same effect as using a torch in that it can protect the player-character, so long as it is maintained.
