This spell creates a trail of shimmering, silvery lights in the direction pointed by the caster. The beam of light thus caused is equal in brightness to a shaft of moonlight, and any priest of Sehanine standing amongst the motes of moonlight is treated as if bathed in the light of a full moon. Objects in darkness beyond this beam can be seen, at best, as vague and shadowy shapes. The spell is targeted at any fixed point within range of the beam's terminus, 10 feet per level of the caster, and the caster must have a line of sight or unobstructed path to that point when the spell is cast. The beam starts at the caster's holy symbol. Once cast, motes of moonlight will hang in place, even if the target or holy symbol is then moved. The caster can dismiss the motes on command.

Notes: Granted by the elven goddess Sehanine Moonbow.
