Continual Faerie Fire

Your touch paints an object with pale, glowing light. This radiance may be of any hue desired (amber, green, red, and ale-brown seem the most popular among drow elves). The area can be any size up, but must be continuous: a row of coin-sized patches of light would require a row of spells, whereas a continuous ribbon of light in the same area could be created with a single spell. Affected objects shed Dim Light in a 10-foot radius. The light can be covered or hidden but not smothered or quenched.

This spell is often used by the drow to illuminate temples or other important buildings. Outside cities, drow most often use it in the Underdark to illuminate areas where slaves or surface races must work, and to mark trails, landmarks, or borders (often with coded hues).

Because of the associated cost, the wealthy usually makes greater use of this spell, but some drow elves are gifted with the power to cast Continual Faerie Fire once per Long Rest, requiring no Material component.
