“ Before Odin could reply, a harsh light lit the room, revealing every smudge on the walls and the dust in the corners. — Norman uses his magic. ”

Photokinesis is the power to create and manipulate light. This is one of the many powers that witches and warlocks can use naturally or through spells and magical objects.

Overview

Throughout the books and the TV series it has been seen that witches and warlocks can exert control over many aspects of nature, including light. Some warlocks like Norman Beauchamp are able to generate a powerful light that can illuminate an entire room and temporarily blind the people in it until they get used to the brightness, while witches as Wendy Beauchamp are able to cover with a magical light some objects of small size, like that time she blew the leaves of a dandelion and made them shine above everyone at the table.

Some witches are also capable of generating light from their own bodies. Killian Gardiner was able to surround himself with light during an identification ritual that revealed him as a warlock. His younger brother in the novels, Trystan, was able to do the same during a confrontation with his girlfriend's mother after she bought their ancestral home, Fair Haven.

In the books, several witches have channeled their magic through their wands or murmured small incantations to illuminate a dark place or altering the lighting. The goddess Joanna Beauchamp was once able to emit a powerful hot light from her wand to defeat her sister Helda.
