School of Luxmancy

Luxmancers use the environment, no, light or lack of it and weaponize it.

Luxmantic Mage

Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, the GP and time you must spend to copy a luxmantic spell into your spellbook is quartered. You also learn the light cantrip if you don't know it already, and gain access to the Luxmancy spell list.

Choose a point within range to cast this spell. Radiant light bursts forth from the point, causing the following effects:

All creatures that enter the spell's area for the first time or who start their turn in the area are subjected to the above effects. The effects lessen every round after the first, with all damage that each radius does lowered by 1d6 per round. After your second turn after you cast this spell, the stunned effect is replaced with "the creature's movement speed is reduced by 20 feet". You may end this spell early on your turn with a bonus action.
