Duration of x/level, the dazzled condition, variable effect durations (i.e. 1d4 rounds), and facing rules are not used in the current edition.I do agree that Illusion may be more appropriate than Evocation as the school of magic, but most official light-based spells are listed as Evocation. As for the concentration,  there are many spells that are combat focused but still require concentration. Blur, the spell that seems closest to the spell-effect that [USER=38532]@Lawmonger[/USER] is going for, is concentration. Heck, Barkskin is concentration. Now whether that makes sense is a separate discussion around how concentration is handled in 5e. But if someone is trying to make a homebrew spell that is balanced, they have to consider where it fits in relation to other existing spells as they are.</blockquote>
