Daylight generally harms only vampires, though other undead traditionally hew to twilight and night. The latter is usually handwaved away as a link between nightfall and the otherworld/land of the dead being closer to the world of the living. If it were simply the light, the light of a torch (electric or burning!) would be enough to damage them.If you mean 'mechanically,' I have yet to play a game where a simple light spell or the emanation from a light-casting device (which is not magically enhanced by something like a daylight spell) is enough to actually get rid of undead, with the exception of a videogame where you snapped photos of ghosts and that somehow banished them. I think that may have been a quality of that particular camera, though, which doesn't make the game much of an exception; I can't remember the title.I'm assuming you mean "harm" and are not talking about blinding...</blockquote>
