Summary0004239: Buff ball of light health
DescriptionI imagine higher levels of the spell (if there are such things?) will already carry more health but nonetheless, I think a slight buff to the health for balls of light wouldn't go amiss.

I'm currently constantly popping them down to see, then using my preferred method for mining, bat-punching, etc. - level 1 ice cross - and immediately killing the light source.

Even if they could survive just one hit from ice cross that would be an improvement!

Why does it matter? What am I missing?

I guess some people would be happy if the balls of light were more sustainable.

As for me, it was my favorite spell to light underground, but I've stopped for a while since I discovered the Emit Light Scroll. But yeah, it's a nice magic to put a light source, not counting the craft of moon lamps (which are great but always fall to the ground, while the BoL hangs in anyplace)

But are enemies killing them or something?

Well, still haven't found an enemy that hits the BoLs, but if one as such shows up, it's always good to buff a little their life, or at least put a tooltip stating their frailty.

After all, if I can kill it, who knows if someone else wouldn't.

No, I'm killing them. By mistake!

I like to use ice cross to mine. Since mining mostly occurs underground, this means I have to be careful to place all of my light balls out of range, or mine in the dark.

Furthermore, if I'm fighting bats in the dark, ice cross is my friend. But it hates my light balls so much I spend as much time placing them as I do fighting the bats!

Also, bosses will kill them if you try lighting their room.

I get why they need health, but they should have way more of it!

Why do you need ball of light anyways? I use the light scrolls and I got like 280 of them, use them as often as I need them (while in ruins or caves) and I've never ever tried to "farm" them or searching for them.

Well if it's completely redundant that's a different discussion entirely!

If the bosses will try to kill them, can they not be used as lures?
