I created and uploaded a cantrip for a character in an upcoming campaign:Primordial Charge(link). The character is a Bladesinger who lacks Darkvision, so it combines limited illumination with the Bonus Action + Magic Weapon features of Shillelagh, and essentially functions like a budget Moon-Touched Sword.
Considerations:
It effectively resolves the issue of combat visibility within 20ft, perception checks within 10ft, and provides an elusive BA option, where few exist.
The character will still be effectively blind beyond 20ft, which leaves them vulnerable to ambushes, and will encourage them to rely on their party members when exploring.
This cantrip can easily be dropped once the player obtains an actual magic weapon, or Darkvision Goggles, etc...

DAMAGE/EFFECT
You brandish the weapon used in the spell's casting and invoke the name of an elemental plane. For the duration, the weapon becomes a magic weapon glowing with planar energy, releasing bright light in a 10ft radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. The spell ends if you dismiss it as an action, let go of the weapon, or if you cast it again.
