Glow Sticks

Tommy, I don't know what happened to your post, but that's weird. It also is probably why people were confused by my post and are thinking that I was talking about requiring glow sticks for Positive Energy Barrier. To correct the record, I was responding to Tommy's (now missing) post about whether a glow stick can be used to represent a light spell. For the reason that Charlie presented (the enormous cost), I wouldn't consider them a good option for Positive Energy Barrier.

i've seen battery opperated tube lighting used elsewhere for something effectively identical to Positive energy barrier. last time i saw one for sale it was a ten foot diamater circle for 40 bucks. it used one 9v battery and if memory serves lasted several hous of continuous use

PM me a link.

check on EBAY for bulk stuff for sale - I bought 1000 6" sticks (most of which were donated to the game) for under 25$ with shipping.

similar to the 500 1.5 inch ones I bought for arrow retrieval

I can't find the ones Stacey is talking about at walmart, but here is a link:

These are great for light spells, and they also work to signify certain effects (they have been used for Spirit of the Dragon, an Advocates True Form skill, etc).

They do use LEDs, but since they are encased in frosted plastic, they are far from blinding and still offer better illumination than most civilian chemical glowsticks.

Then, there are these.

Most glow sticks fade, but these glow at a much higher level. While not as easy as the ones Gavin mentioned (Which work nice, since the tip isn't frosted), they do give a good bit of light when cracked.
