"The sun can be a source of hope for the weak. But we can't give ourrselves the ease to be weak. Because the sun shines from within us. If there is no sunlight in sight we become the sun itself!" - Quote from Odric Kavanagh's speech during the ceremony of the recent graduates from the Roy Savant's Royal Arcane Guard's College.

Creator's Notes: This feat is intended to be used in a campaign where magic is somewhat common and the weave of magic has a strong presence in the world, so this can be categorized as a Powerful Feat, but has some flexible options to make it less or more powerful, so balance it as you like, that's why there are options with the "Optional Feature" tag in this feat. Talk with your DM to determine the available optional features for you.
