The crown of radiance creates a shining light equivalent to a continual light spell in a 10-foot radius around the creature touched. In addition, if cast on an archon or petitioner, the crown of radiance shows how successful that individual has been with his or her chosen path; those close to completing their path have bright crowns, those with far to go have tarnished ones.

Notes: A planar priest spell, uncommon for good priests who traffic with archons; otherwise, very rare.
