control light errata question

theridion

First Post
normal control light is a level 1 psion power(psychokinesis) which either elevates or reduces the level of ambient room light by 20%/level, and lasts up to 1 minute/level(concentrating).
anyway, at 100% reduction in light(by the rules), area effected is dark and creatures inside that use sight are blind.

by the errata rules, those squares can automatically(at level 1?) be caused to have very bright light which incurs a fortitude save or creates blindness for one round.

now, both these effects are about equal, one requires a save but can be done at level 1 and lasts 1 round, but the other is just automatic and uses no save, but only works in those squares...

anyway, i wanted to know if this spell is now broken. a level 1 psion can create 12, 10-foot cubes and cause bright lights to appear in them making all opponents make fort saves or be blinded for one round. this seems like a fairly strong ability that(to my knowledge) can still be focused on and continued for 1 minute/level, making all those which stay in the effected squares incure more fortitude saves to avoid blindness.

what does everyone think? its definitelly a great spell now, but am i reading it right?

From the PsiHB Errata:
"p. 63. Control Light, last paragraph of power description: Replace the last sentence "Increasing the ambient light of a
torch or brighter light by 200% or more blinds normally sighted creatures in the area."
With: You can increase the ambient light in the area to “blinding intensity,” blinding all normally sighted
creatures in the area who fail Fortitude save for 1 round."

I think that means ... shoot, I dunno either.

Sorry that wasn't more helpful, lol.

If I'm remembering the original text in Control Light, wouldn't blinding intensity be only availabe when light increase reached 200%?
