Some people believe that the light is a sapient entity with will, which is why it can change demons into heroes. Others think that light is a purely selfish force which is insidious and will attack the dark in self defense. Then again, others think that the light is inherently evil and is simply out to make enemies. Whatever the case, if you are a true believer, you have to learn to see things from both sides.

Light is a sapient entity with a will

Abbendis believes that Light is a sapient entity with ‘a will’ and is a sentient being, although the term’sentient’ is sometimes misinterpreted. In fact, the term’sapient’ is a linguistic construct and is not meant to imply sentience. However, the Light can be used in a variety of ways, similar to arcane magic, and can power engines or make things fly.

It can alter demons

In the light world of Warcraft, the Light can change demons to serve it. This can be done by summoning the Lightforged Draenei. The Draenei were originally a race of humans, and they have become the Lightforged Draenei in World of Warcraft. They are also the result of the demons Calia Menethil slew. The Light has the power to change demons, including wights, rogues, and other undead.

It can enslave heroes in self-defense

The Enslaved are the creatures that demand you follow their rules and live in their world. The Enslaved rewards their subservience by rewarding you with happiness. In this world, they say, life is more enjoyable if you play along. It seems to be a paradox. The light world of Warcraft is very different than the dark world, and this fact makes the light world far more dangerous to a player.

It can lead believers to close-mindedness

The Light is just as dangerous as the Void, because devotees tend to be closed-minded and prone to follow one path. Interestingly, this type of faith could be a gateway to close-mindedness as well, and Calia Menethil, a High Elves mage, became undead through the Light. If this were true, then Light-followers would be just as likely to become close-minded as they are to adopt other beliefs.

It is a religion

In World of Warcraft, the Church of Light is one of two major religions. The Lightbound follow the teachings of the “Light Mother,” a powerful Naaru. While Elune has never been physically seen, her calming presence and power have been felt throughout the game. However, there is a strong debate over which of the two religions is the true religion. Let’s take a look.

Initially, the game-play series centered around God. Humans were considered devout monotheists, but the Church of the Holy Light changed this and made the game-play universe non-theistic. The Church also debased the nature of angels. Despite the Church of the Light’s change in focus, its roots were in Christian religion. However, it was never explicitly stated that the Light was a religion.

Other races wielding it

Other races wield the Light in the World of Warcraft. Besides the titans, the Shattered Sunblades and other species also use Light. The rivalry between Goblins and Gnomes has led to new technologies for Light. Some of these new technologies are also used by the newly-established Mechaknights and Titanguards. The paladins of these races use this technology to protect themselves from enemy attacks and other dangers.
