Summary0004530: Add a monster that attacks light sources
DescriptionA monster that attacked light sources would be an interesting thing. It would make it so that emit light scrolls are not the obvious choice for light purposes, because they would constantly attack you. It would also give some use to the other lighting options. Of course, they would constantly be attacking the light sources and destroying them, so you'd have to keep re-casting them.

Now that I think about it, you'd probably have to make these monsters faster or more dangerous than normal monsters, since most of them have the default behavior of 'run at the player' already.

Well, part of their distinguishing factor would be that you can switch the lights off and they wouldn't hunt you down.

The idea is interesting, but wouldn't it work better to just add a more general stealth mechanic? (make all monsters sort of work like this).

Alternatively, just get rid of the emit light scrolls. They trivialize the entire idea of darkness.

I think we're at a point where a new type of region is most likely going to be added in future (as part of post-release DLC, no doubt) which will handle light and darkness as a far more central theme.
