Illumination

A mystical state of souls favored by the Nysalor's Empire of Light in the Dawn Age and the Lunar Empire. It changes practioners' state of mental and magical existence.

Abilities of Nysalorian Illumination
In Avalonhill's Dorastor Land of Doom:


 * Secret Knowledge: Chaos is, in itself, neither evil nor inimical.


 * Ability to Sense Illumination


 * Immunity to Detect Chaos/Law skills or Spells


 * The Power to Ignore Cult Restrictions


 * Immunity to Spirits of Reprisal


 * The Ability to Illuminate Others

Most of them above can be summarized that "It allows her to ignore many of the normal restrictions of existence." There is a darkside called Occlusion. Illumination and Occlusion are same in its practioner's ability above.

Effects of Lunar Illumination
In Imperial Lunar Handbook2: Under the Red Moon:

After the destruction of the Empire of Light, three bad things are for practioners:

1. "Right" knowledge of Illumination was lost.

2. Occlusion is inevitable for most.

3. An Illuminate can be always occluded.

Lunars strictly control it with the Council of Illumination Examiners as a state religion. Lunars advocate the ultimate goal of Illumination as Enlightenment. Lunars believe the effect of Enlightenment is:


 * He radiates a calm and loving splendor which is ineffable and mysterious.


 * They will do nothing personally.
