TS3 Tutorial: Glowing effects/crystals as mage lights
I received a WCIF for how to achieve an effect similar to the Magelight spell from Skyrim as lighting.
AFAIK there's no CC that looks like this, but never fear, I have an idea!

Option #1: Fog Emitter (debug)
The closest thing I can think of is the Fairy effect: ep7fairydustglow_main | ep7fairy. It creates a glowing white sprite VERY similar in appearance to the Magelight. The only problem's that it has an annoying chiming/bell ringing sound that gets pretty loud the more you use at once.
A prettier one is ep7fairyauroraorb, cuz it has glitter.
Option #1b: These are exactly the same, but without the effing NOISE, and they come in different colors!
ep7wandglowblue_main | ep7wandglowcyan_main | ep7wandglowgreen_main | ep7wandglowmagenta_main | ep7wandgloworange_main | ep7wandglowrainbow_main | ep7wandglowred_main | ep7wandglowwhite_main
| ep7wandglowyellow_main
Here's Cyan & Rainbow for example:
Option #1c: There's also these variations: ep7fairymoodlamp_main | ep7fairyflightauto_main | ep7fairyflightking_main. (The King version adds different color ones that quickly fade.) These are NOT stationary, so they WILL flitter all over the place.
NOTE: Be careful with these--apparently they don't actually go away even if you delete the Fog Emitter--at least not in my current save. Maybe a restart will do the trick, but I'm lazy.
Option #2: Fog Emitter + EA Gems
Let's return to the ep7wandglowcyan_main. Now get Treeag's Box of Treasures, which I explained how to use here in order to quickly unlock all of EA's crystals, gems & rocks.
The gems to buy are small crystal ball cut Moonstone & Sunstone (Supernatural EP) & Tiberium (World Adventures EP). If you don't have that EP, we can just settle for other ones like sapphire, citrine/topaz, emerald, etc.
Grab any light you like that's small & round in shape--I'm using this one from Late Night EP.
Right-click them to change their color to match the gems (cyan, yellow, green, etc):
And change their Intensity to Bright.
Then get some OMSP Resizers (I used Buhudain's .25x omsp for the LN lamp, and Granthe's regular OMSP for the Moonstone).
Then stack them all on top of each other with MOO, and you get:
So yeah, that's the two ideas I had in my head, for how to give lots more witchy-poo effect "lighting."
If anyone's got other suggestions, we're all ears!
