3e Summary: When this cantrip is used, the caster creates one or more globes of pastel light (like the blue-light cantrip). A single globe of illumination 1 foot in diameter can be brought forth, or a pair of 6-inch-diameter globes, three 4-inch-globes, or four 3-inch globes. These can be of any pastel color. Each illuminates a radius around itself equal to five diameters: A 1-foot globe sheds a 5-foot radius, while a 3-inch sphere of light illumi­nates only a 15-inch radius. The colored lights remain as long as the caster concentrates—the globes float near or rest upon the caster, as de­sired, within the 25-foot range.

The globes can be moved back and forth, up and down, to and fro, as desired. The illumination from any one of them won't cast reflections beyond 10, and the light shed cannot be detected beyond 30 feet. Infravision and ultravision are not affected if light is colored pale pink or blue (respectively), but other hues disturb these visual capabilities.

The verbal and somatic components are these: The caster must speak the color and number of globes desired, then speak a magic word (“noma,” “mazda,” and so on), while directing the globes with one or more fingers.
