Creation (...)
You touch one Large or smaller object that isn’t being worn or carried by someone else. Until the spell ends, the object sheds Bright Light in a 20-foot radius and Dim Light for an additional 20 feet. The light can be colored as you like.
Covering the object with something opaque blocks the light. The spell ends if you cast it again.
* - (a firefly or phosphorescent moss)

Posted Sep 5, 2024Why is it still a DEX save if I can't target something worn or carried by someone else??

Posted Sep 8, 2024Yeah, the DEX Save needs to be removed from this. Just another oversight among many.

Posted Oct 5, 2024다른 사람이 들고 있거나 장비한 물건에 시전할 수 없게 되었으니 앞에 선 파이터에게 광선검을 만들어주고 싶다면 내가 들고 있는 검에 시전한 다음 넘겨주거나 해야 하겠네요
Now that you can't cast on object that is being worn or carried by someone else, if I want to make a lightsaber for a fighter, have to cast it on the sword i'm holding and then hand it over.

Posted Dec 13, 2024In the SPECIAL column in the Cleric spell list it does not show "M".
Then when I go into the spell itself it shows "M".
This is true of a number of spells in the special column in spell lists.
Is the special column in the spell list of any use if I have to go into each spell to find out the requirements?

Posted Jan 2, 2025The SPECIAL column only shows "M" when their is a material cost that can NOT be replaced by a spellcasting focus or component pouch
This column also displays if you can cast the spell as a Ritual "R", or if it requires Concentration "C".

Posted Feb 19, 2025Can we just drop the object on the ground to cast it on it? Or the light stops as soon as the object moves?

Posted Feb 21, 2025You don't need to drop the object. It says an "object that isn’t being worn or carried by someone else". You can cast it on something you're wearing or carrying just fine.
Moving the object doesn't end the light effect.

Posted May 19, 2025No longer works on people just objects. That sucks.

Posted May 20, 2025Strictly speaking, it was never possible to cast it on a person, though you used to be able to cast it on things other people were carrying if they failed a Dexterity save. You can still cast it on something you're carrying.

Posted Sep 2, 2025Ideally one could cast this on something like a dart and then stab or throw it at an enemy that might be invisible or difficult to see/track in low lighting conditions in hopes of sticking the dart into the enemy and essentially tagging them with a very bright glow stick or marker. Maybe the enemy can't reach or remove the dart so easily and will have to make a Strength or Dexterity save in order to possibly remove it.

Posted Sep 30, 2025What a weird nerf to the spell (the 2014 version wasn't like this). I would let someone cast this on an item a party member was carrying.
