I want to make torches more needful in my dungeon. So.. is it possible to make the lightspell to last like... 15 seconds? (sounds pretty evil..
)
Or maybe remove it from spellcraft-tree completely?
Thanks,
uggardian

You should be able to redefine the spell with your own that does nothing (or something completely different
)

I've successfully redefined the light spell to do nothing, but I'm wondering how the existing light spell works. I can't find it in any of the scripts so I assume it's hardcoded.
What I want to do is make it so casting light creates a burst of light that lasts about 30 seconds.

would be cool to make the light spell work Exactly like a torch that burns out super fast and you can see it start to fade quickly
plus: I always thought torch light was a bit more moody than the actual light spell.

I always wished the light spell was brighter than it is, so that it would at least match torches, but I guess perhaps that was an intentional trade-off (you exchange the further view distance for the benefit of not having to carry a torch in hand)

Yes, the shorter distance and different hue is intentional.
