Suffice it to say, my mind has been blown. I don't know why this surprised me so much, but it did. Suppose it shows how little I use Magelight.

You can also use it (or any spell that projects with a ball like that) to set off traps remotely. It's a tich hard to aim, but it's free.
I never even thought about triggering traps remotely. I've always just made my follower walk into them for me.
I was delving through the caves to get Auriel's Bow and used magelight as a slow-moving spotlight missile to light up tunnels, lol idk how else to describe it. Honestly the effect was so cool, looking forward to seeing the effect in that weird book realm.
I love doing that. I bet stuff like that will look so much better whenever the new Elder Scrolls game drops.

I actually just found out this today too. I was trying to get into the college of winterhold and started spamming the spell to trigger the quest. I then noticed the orbs that were attached to the woman when she started walking.
I make Lydia a torch
Oh OP...
I've used it to tag wild animals while hunting so I can still see where they run away too.
