Thanks! And I guess I can see where you're coming from about the permanancy thing, but continual light remains permanent in my games.(agree with your entire 'reiteration' post)
Regarding permanency, I allow that to be truly permanent, barring dispels and the like. I just want to avoid the industrial revolution that would be inevitable if every low-level caster were to churn out continual lights and selling them for fun and profit. permanency is a high-level spell, and so it will be sufficiently rare that it would cause the same issues.
