Hag's Blessing

A following light.

Hag's Blessing summons a swarm of fireflies to light your way in the dark. The flies can be very dangerous, since they have the ability to breathe fire, so care should be taken not to upset them.

It may be imbued into magick crystals making it amber. Wearing such a crystal may attract fireflies. Then again, it might not. It might just be Coincidence.

This spell consumes 10 units of spell storage space.
The nickname of this spell is hags.

I appreciate any extra information reguarding focus tea results. If you'd like to contribute to this please make a copy of your magic skills and your focus tea results and mail them to me witches "Discworld Focus Tea" in the subject line. However, due to focus tea restraints a magic.spells.special bonus of 150 or higher is required.

This is an incredibally useful light source spell. It results in a swarm of fireflies that will remain with you for a given period of time. (May or may not be skill dependent.) You can summon multiple swarms though evantually if you have too many they'll begin to fight amongst themselves. This spell may also increase the odds of success at flying at night. This spell can only be cast outside.

If you would like a swarm of flies to leave early use, "shoo flies". However, you can only shoo your own flies (atleast if you're NPK).

A witch can increase the length of stay of her fireflies by increasing her magic.spells.miscellaneous. Below is a very general albight informative chart that displays some miscellaneous bonuses along with the length of stays of flies that were cast.

Fireflies, in addition, can also be very dangerous. Try "consider flies" sometime. Put effort into not using "kill all". There is a limit on how many flies you can have summoned at one time (10 swarms), I believe this is an overall cap rather than being skill based. If you attempt to summon more than ten swarms they'll start to breathe fire at the latest summoned swarm.
