Causes the appearance of light, so that the area of effect will become as bright as day. The effect of this light is similar to a torch, so that past the area of effect it will soften to a distance of about 60 feet; things outside the area of effect, however, will be somewhat indistinct.  Targeting objects inside the area of effect will carry normal combat adjustments, but against those outside the effect will carry a penalty of -4 to hit.  Light created by the spell will not reflect in a mirror outside the spell effect.
