The spells that follow, while also produce light, are more
distantly related to Lumos and its
variants. Thus, they are not considered Lumos
variants, and the magical understanding required for learning is distinct from
that of Lumos. Interestingly, some of
their effects can be terminated by Nox,
while others cannot. However, none of them are impervious towards Noctotem (6.1), a more powerful variant of Nox, which extinguishes sources of magical light within the area.
