As someone who is intimately familiar with glow (my sword, my arrows,etc...) long, necklace style glow sticks would make great for Positive Energy Barrier. The only drawback is the more powerful you become, the more sticks you need as it's length increases with your level. The necklace versions also need connectors to join them together. I was thinking of just getting plain glow-wire of a certain length and using that for my barrier (should I ever get the skill anytime soon). I would only have 1 set length, but it's doubtful I would ever need to go beyond a certain point in my creation of a barrier.
For those interested in battery powered glow wire, let me know. If you wish to use glow sticks, which are also good, Charles has that planned. I am trying to stay away from glow sticks only because they can be used only once and then tossed.

The cheapest sticks on the site Matt provided cost 20 cents each and are 1.5 inches long. Figuring a stick every foot for a Positive Energy Barrier. The skill states that "A character can create a barrier that is equal in length to three times her level," which I imagine means three times level in feet, so every level one has will require 3 sticks if using one every foot, or .60 cents, every ten levels will cost $6. A 20th level Hunter will be spending $12 at one stick per foot. Halve that for one stick every two feet (.30 per foot, $3 per ten levels) and for one stick every three feet it is .20/foot, $2 per ten levels. Damn - if Fogrom was a Witch Hunter, he would spend more to put up a barrier than to play, if he paid.
I posted the costs to erect a barrier for two reasons.
1 - It does have a definable reoccurring cost so be prepared.
2 - If it will be a KR requirement to use sticks, then KR might consider providing them, sort of like Spell packets. It might devolve into a matter of economics for a Witch Hunter to place a barrier, if said person does not have extra discretionary income.

It is not a KR requirement to use glow sticks for Positive Energy Barrier.
KR also does not supply spell packets, for anyone other than NPCs.

The Dollar Store by me actually has Glow Necklace in assorted colors in either 6 or 12 packs, but does not come with connectors. They also only last 3 hours or so...
On the other hand, this might work well for Positive Energy Barriers. Slightly more costly, but reusable.

I know at Walmart they sell glow sticks that are actually a flashlight. They are great because they can be turned on and off so they can be reused, just change the battery and they look like a glow stick. I just seemed to have lost mine. But I imagine that they would sell them somewhere in the camping section maybe.
