How To Use Dancing Lights In BG3
Dancing Lights is primarily used for illumination, making it easier to see in dark environments or to reveal hidden threats. The orbs created by the spell can be moved each turn using a bonus action, allowing you to adjust the lighting as needed.
The spell requires concentration, so be mindful of maintaining it, especially if you are engaged in combat. Losing concentration will dispel the lights, potentially leaving you and your party in the dark.
