✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and focused: does exactly what it says, no bloat
- Respects game balance by not affecting NPC or world torches
- Lightweight with 1,092 downloads, so it's been tried by a decent number of players
⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're using OpenMW 0.48 or later, as Lua scripting is only supported in recent versions.
- Place the mod files in your OpenMW data directory and enable it in the launcher's content list.
- Since it only affects player-held torches, you can test it immediately by equipping a torch and comparing light radius.
