Light Dash

"As fast as a lightning bolt. And just as dangerous"
— A witness to this spell
Lightmages are a very powerful and rare type of Elemental Mages, who are able to produce and control light. Since Light is a very versatile element, numerous spells have been able to be developed over the centuries, cathering to various situations and fighting style. One of the most visualy impressive and popular to learn amongst young Lightmages is the Light Dash.

Effect

The effect of the spell, no matter its target, is devastating. Everything that crosses its path is either incinerated or blown away, left destroyed and reduced to ashes and rubble by its power.

Side/Secondary Effects

A very loud, almost deafening, crackling sound is produced when the spell is discharged. The sound has been described as being very similar to powerful thunder, and it similarly can be heard from many kilometres away.

Manifestation

Before the spell is cast, one can see the mage's body begin to emit light and glow intensely. The colour of the light they emit ranges from pure white, to yellow, and even a golden or amber colour. When the spell is cast, a beam of light just as fast as lightning is discharged towards the direction that the mage was facing.   At the same time, the mage is able to ride the light, allowing them to move at incredible speed. During those few short seconds, the mage is able to change direction if they are strong enough, allowing them to hit multiple targets with only one spell. And those targets do not really stand a chance to stop them either, as for the duration of the spell, they are protected by a ball of light that is so energized and boiling hot that it destroys and burns to a crisp nearly anything it touches. The only thing that seems to resist the power of the spell is Shadestone.

Source

The huge amount of energy necessary to deploy such a spell is contained within the mage's mana cores. Because of the huge amount of mana it consumes, only the most powerful and well trained Lightmages are able to perform the spell consecutively, especial at night, where they can't replenish their mana reserves with the sun's light.

Gestures

Most Light mages will take on a sprinting position as they activate the spell. They will lower themselves down, place their hands on the ground, and rise their heels, pushing their feet against the ground as if they are about to hit a real sprint. Then, they let themsleves ride the light, occasionaly pulling it to one side or the other to change the direction of the spell

Applied Restrictions

The spell is very energy intensive, and so it is recommended that weaker Lightmages only use the spell in case of emergency, and to otherwise refrain from doing so. For stronger Lighmages, they are recomended to only use once or twice during day time, and never at night. Failure to meet those recommendation can lead to sudden exhaustion and lose of consciousness as the body is drained of its mana energy.
