Photokinesis
"In order to see, you need light. This is true. But light has so many more uses than visibility. It can heal, harm, bend and deceive. How light is used ultimately comes down to what kind of person the caster is. I am here to ensure it never sees use from those who are tainted with sin and greed. So, the question is... what kind of person are you?" —Evelyn, Goddess of LightPhotokinesis, also called photomancy or simply light magic, is a class of magic involving the manipulation and weaponization of light.
