Effect You brandish Morning Glow and focus on its gleaming light, boosting its illumination so that it produces bright light in a 30-foot emanation (and dim light for another 30 feet) for 10 minutes. All creatures in this area that have the demon trait must attempt a DC 31 reflex save.
Effect: Morning Glow

When you attack with it more than once on your turn, the second attack gains a circumstance bonus to damage equal to the number of weapon damage dice, and each subsequent attack gains a circumstance bonus to damage equal to double the number of weapon damage dice.
