'''''Starshine''''' was an [[evocation]] and [[illusion]] [[spell]] with a rare [[illusion]] component of the third circle of magic, that illuminated an area.<ref name="PHB2e-214" /><ref name="PHB2eR-272" />

==Description==
Once cast, ''starshine'' made the area of {{SI|10|ft|long=yes}} appear to be illuminated by the bright glow of a moonlit night, complete with stars. The range of the spell was {{SI|10|ft|long=yes}} 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 {{SI|100|ft|long=yes}} from the edge of the spell's glow and unmoving creatures within {{SI|50|ft|long=yes}} 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.<ref name="PHB2e-214" /><ref name="PHB2eR-272" />
