Item: Inspiring Spotlight (Portable)
An inspiring spotlight consists of a drum-shaped metal housing around several reflective plates. It has the capacity to cast a powerful, narrow beam of light to illuminate important moments or characters on stage. The portable version consists of an 18-inch-diameter lamp on a tripod that can be set up or broken down over the course of 10 minutes. The mounted version is typically 3 feet in diameter and affixed to a bracket above and behind the audience for indoor performances.
Activate—Light It Up 1 (light, manipulate)
Frequency once per hour
Effect The inspiring spotlight emits a 5-foot burst of bright magical light within 120 feet. If the burst intersects with an area of magical darkness, the inspiring spotlight attempts to counteract the darkness with a +17 modifier. Creatures within the burst gain a +1 item bonus to saving throws and Charisma-based skill checks. The spotlight remains lit for 1 minute or until you Interact to turn it off. During this time any creature adjacent to the spotlight can move the burst up to 20 feet from the burst's original position with an Interact action.
Trait Effects
Light: Light effects overcome non-magical darkness in the area and can counteract magical darkness. You must usually target darkness magic with your light magic directly to counteract the darkness, but some light spells automatically attempt to counteract darkness.
Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
