The condition to have heavenly/holy rays of light around ones self-appearing as holy backlighting. Sub-power of Divine Presence. Not to be confused with Divine Aura, Divine Presence or Good Aura. Opposite to Infernal Background.
Also Called[]
- Sacred Backlight/Backlighting
- Holy Backlighting
Effects[]
As a trait, the user/character is lit from behind by a blinding supernatural light, usually making them indistinct from any other being around them and giving them a dramatic effect. This lighting can also cause easing and calming effects in those of goodly natures and cause great fear and even pain in those darkly/evil natures, and even causing varying effects on the environment around the character.
Unlike divine auras, divine presences or good auras where the entity in question gives off energies naturally from their inner powers, the backlighting is an effect of those powers.
