Chapter 14: Twilight - The Phase and its Spells

The phase Twilight lies halfway between Light and Darkness. It is neutral and includes spells that can either be used for good or ill. Twilight spells are those spells that promote the characteristics of the Light and Darkness equally. Regardless of whether they are primarily composed of materials associated with Light or Darkness, magic wands will have no trouble strengthening and focusing twilight spells.

Some of the most common Twilight spells are those intended to:

- Change a subject's physical properties such as shape, size, substance, or weight

- Transfiguration

- Increase strength and endurance

- Reveal hidden or invisible people or objects
