I think the light draws enemies, extending their range of notice. This effect is increased at night. Don't know if this is documented anywhere. I only use light spell when I'm not too worried about it (in caves or as the party gets stronger) and let it go out when traveling outside. Also, having some stealth chars in front does seem to increase the chance of surprising the enemy, but it is just my feeling from playing many games. My 2 cents. - Zig -
