Often misunderstood as a simple illumination spell, the mana beacon throws a beam of light so bright and high it can be seen for kilometers around, even in full daylight. However useful a portable landmark of this kind might be, the light is not its primary purpose. An experienced mana mage can use these beacons to ride the light, transporting from one to the next effectively instantly. The 'cast teleportation' skill creates a longer-lasting beacon.
