APPEARING: 1 (1-6)ARMOR CLASS: 0MOVE: 48”HIT DICE: 6, 9, or 12% IN LAIR: NilNO.

They are rarely found on the Prime Material plane, and then only in the area of spectacular events such as double-arched rainbows or multihued meteor showers in the night sky.Radiance quasi-elementals normally attack with beams of pure light, each of which has a different effect. The range of these beams is equal to the hit dice of the creature (i.e., 6”, 9”, or 12” range). The beams have the following effects:1. Red beam: 1d6 + 1 hp/HD (cold) damage;2. Orange beam: 1d6 + 1 hp/HD (heat) damage;3. Yellow beam: 1d6 + 1 hp/HD (acid) damage;4. Green beam: 1d6 + 1 hp/HD (poison) damage;5. Blue beam: 1d6 + 1 hp/HD (electrical) damage;6. Indigo beam: 1d6 + 1 hp/HD (holy water) damage; and,7. Violet beam: 1d6 + 1 hp/HD (force) damage.Effects are as for that particular type of damage, but the energy is a ray 1. wide. For instance, the yellow beam leaves no acid behind, but the effects are as if a bolt of acid struck the target. Devices which offer protection from that particular type of damage negate the effects of the quasi-elemental. Similarly, if the creature is immune to the effects of the type of attack, the creature will not be harmed (for example, a paladin struck by the indigo beam of holy water effect would not be harmed, but a wraith would).Radiance quasi-elementals radiate a continual light spell at all times. This is diminished when they reduce their spin so that they resemble will-o-the-wisps, or intensified by increasing their spin rates. In the latter case, all who look at a rapidly spinning quasi-elemental must make a saving throw vs. death or be blinded for 2-20 days. The range of this intense radiation is 12” in all directions.Spells which create or control darkness can prevent such a quasi-elemental from using its blinding attack, and these spells inflict damage of 1 hp per level of the caster to the creature. Fire, cold, and electricity inflict half damage. Weapons must be enchanted to + 1 or better to inflict damage on a radiance quasi-elemental.Powerful mages have been known to capture radiance quasi-elementals and use them as both light sources and guards in their domains. The creatures have low intelligence but can separate friend from foe, so that a group of invading mercenaries may find the the mage’s own lamps attacking them.</blockquote>
