📋 About This Mod
Lumen Umbra (Aura)
By SwissFred
The party leader gains two opposing, mutually exclusive passives:
-
[]Lumen (Aura): Ignites nearby light sources, banishing darkness.
[
]Umbra (Aura): Extinguishes nearby light sources, embracing shadow.
Features:
-
[]The party leader gains both passives.
[
]Passives can be toggled on or off (default: Lumen active).[]Aura radius:12 feet.
[]All light sources within this radius are affected (torches, candles, braziers, and more).
[]Exceptions: Moon Lanterns, Arcane Lamps, Djinni Lamp, the 2 puzzle Torches at the door in the Crypt Act1.
[]If both passives are toggled off, there is no effect on light sources.
This mod fixes an issue where some light sources were not recognized correctly and were destroyed when lit up (a bug introduced in Larian patches #7 and #8).
