Light burst

❌

Light burst weapons produced a blinding flash of light on a severe hit to the target.

Description
Light burst weapons were typically etched with images of the sun and had a warmth when touched.

Activation
When a light burst weapon scored a severe hit, it unleashed a dazzling burst of light, leaving the unfortunate subject partially blind and dazzled for approximately a minute. Those with particular sensitivity to light, such as drow or kobolds, also suffered the effects of a daylight spell for about six seconds, then had to endure being dazzled.

The wielder of the weapon did not suffer the effects, unless especially sensitive to light.

Creation
A spellcaster who wished to enchant a weapon with the light burst property had to have the daylight spell available.
