Illuminating Hell

Illuminating Hell (黄泉照, Yomiterasu) is a highly abstract Light Magic spell.

Description
Illuminating Hell is a spell that enables the user to "illuminate" the thoughts of those who have perceived the light the user emits from their being. Alternatively, it can be said that the user is capable of performing mind reading through a victim's exposure to their light.

The user's ability to do this is innately tied into how magical energy is composed within virtually every being. As the user emits their own magical energy through light, it is capable of being sent directly to the soul of the unsuspecting victim. Their light, as an extension of their magical senses, is able to interact with the magical energy pervading within the soul of the victim. This magical energy that floats within the soul is actually the manifestation of the ordinary person's thoughts, and it is this magical energy that funnels towards the central magic origin of the body, and grants spells their purpose. The user's capability to directly visualize the mana within the soul of an enemy and the immediate thoughts they produce enables them to understand their opponent's immediate motives with magic and take precautionary steps to avoid injury in combat.

In other situations, it may enable the user to be seen as an existence similar to a deity, for they are able to speak the thoughts of those around themselves before others begin to vocalize their thoughts. Like most spells of this nature, non-magical abilities are capable of neutralizing its advance by not allowing the user's light magic to interact with any magical energy within the non-mage, as they do not produce any magical energy. Likewise, those particularly skilled in magical interference may be able to avoid having their thoughts read, assuming they understand the purpose of the light flowing off of the user.
