Radiance is a core specialization for the guardian class that emanates the qualities of searing light and flame. The traits gained from Radiance help trigger burning attacks and critical hits, as well as kills, resolution, and blindness, while also rewarding these activities in a cycle that compliments itself. Radiance may enhance torch and signet skills.
