Official Move Approval III

[Roger Smith]

I've been helping Tom out with his moves, so I'm just slapping this down for/with him

Spark Conjuration
With this spell, the user casts a burst of bright light (which can be of any color). This light is moderately bright, and can be seen for several miles away in the dark, illuminating very large areas for about an hour. Once cast, this glob of light adheres to anything it touches, or can instead be detonated midair into something akin to a flare. The surrounding area is somehow lit up as though the light source was the brightness of the sun, even though the light is nowhere near bright enough to blind anyone that looked upon it. It is magically impossible to use this spell for any reason other than to brighten the terrain. This version of the spell can be cast instantly and wordlessly, and dismissed at any time he so chooses with [Nox].

In combat the user can cast this spell directly in front of an opponent, momentarily blinding them in a similar fashion to a soundless flash-bang. The light dims immediately after. This version of the spell takes a full three seconds to cast, and must be done with an incantation at low to medium cost.

I am Darkarma Tallon and I approve this message on behalf of myself.

The issues I pointed out previously still stand. For reference:

Spark Conjuration -- The main areas of contention for the first part with this one still remain, in that its casting time, range and duration are grossly out of proportion. That can be mitigated by adding in a charge time to use it, decreasing the range and/or the duration, or some combination of the three. The actual flashbang effect is fine and good to go.

The fact also remains, after a little more thought, that even though this is "merely" a fodder power, it still offers enough of a mechanical advantage to warrant it having a cost. Using it to light up an area assumes the fact that said area is dim/dark enough to be difficult to see, so lighting it up for easier vision is mechanically the opposite of calling in fog/darkness/magical whateverthefuck to obscure and hamper vision, and we already have several precedents for that costing the like of a move.
