So a while back I worked on moving us away from how "lights" like torches and all that worked. It was clumsy, didn't work right, it messed with a lot of skills and edges - like making it so orc war banners never actually worked correctly.

So two things:
1) Lights don't have to show GLOWING to give light. It's unnecessary, since they're already a light and all that - I'll fiddle with this part. Lights also "run out" of light eventually depending on the light. Torches and the like will always run out.

2) Orcish war banners are no longer going to be lights, because that's dumb. They'll be misc items, which also solves the glowing issue.
