Images for Light...

[eepjr24]

So I am working on a light power (Fantasy setting) and reading about Images. Consider the following power.

 

Sight Group Images, AOE Radius 7m (+1/2) (15 Active Points); Only To Create Light (-1), Set Effect (-1) (5 Real Cost)

 

What exactly does this do without the +4 PER to offset the dark night penalties? Could it be seen in the dark? In the day time or dusk how would it appear?

 

I am not trying to quibble about the value of buying or not buying the PER Roll, as a GM that is easy enough to hand wave for minor things. I am just trying to figure out what this would do since it does not appear to do anything?

 

If SFX is relavent, it would be a simple magical light spell producing light similar to that of a lantern.

It produces a light, but a light so faint that it's easily blocked/drowned out/etc. by any phenomenon that interferes with sight:  ordinary nighttime darkness; smoke; fog; and so on.
