Alright, it may have been forever since I truly had a newbie question, but here I go.

What exactly is light in spells? I know the cold spells, negative spells, and fire spells, but which ones are truly light? I know bolt of glory if probrably light, since only paladins have it. But what about spear of faith? Since any aura can have it. Does a darky priest have negative energy in his spear of faith? Same question goes for holy word?

Thanks in advance for any help.

So holy attacks are pretty much neutral when it comes to PvP? Since no class is weak or strong against it, and I assume it is only affected by MP and MR?

What about holy word? That also holy?



Off topic: What if grey priest would get holy attacks, and priest from dark gods and light gods would get aura specific attacks? So it truly is a dim spear or a bright spear of faith? One has negative energy, the other light?
