Starshine was an evocation and illusion spell with a rare illusion component of the third circle of magic, that illuminated an area.[1][2]
Description[]
Once cast, starshine made the area of 10 feet (3 meters) appear to be illuminated by the bright glow of a moonlit night, complete with stars. The range of the spell was 10 feet (3 meters) and both range and area of effect grew with the spell-caster's magical powers. The spell made it easier to notice movement in the darkness within 100 feet (30 meters) from the edge of the spell's glow and unmoving creatures within 50 feet (15 meters) from the glow's edge. The starshine created shadows and was unnoticeable to the infravision. Lastly, the spell did not create a night sky. Instead, it was a mere illusion that shed starlight, and the spell did not work underwater.[1][2]
The spell could also be cast using a staff of wanderers,[3] a moon ring,[4] Moonarc scimitar,[5] or the Starshine sword.[6] Copies of the spell were also recorded in the Crystrum of Tranquility,[7] the Leaves of Green.[8] and the book of infinite spells.[9]
Components[]
Starshine required verbal, somatic, and material components. The material components are several amaryllis (Hypoxis) plant stalks and several holly berries.[1][2]
