The effects of sunlight and solar radiation on the manasphere surrounding Earth are varied, complicated and difficult to mesure. It is commonly known that those affected by certain strains of the awakened virus HMHVV are adversly affected by sunlight, although a comparable nighttime equivalent of the reaction has yet to be produced though the use of artificial analoges of solar radiations.
It is my postulation that light in its various spectrums, in conjuntion with other radiations common in solar emissions, charge the sun-faceing portion of the ManaSphere producing a small yet mesurable “attunement” that is adverse to the awakened changes produced by particular strands of HMHVV. This attunement could be viewed as a heat-style effect, where in areas of total isolation of sunlight the effect would not be seen, while a gradually increasing attunement could be seen as the exposure to solar light is increased (i.e. the attunement caused by solar radiation irradiates as a source of “heat” explaining the need to near complete isolation during the daytime phase of the infected)
Further, I believe this Solar Effect upon the ManaSphere is in part due to a near-sarcadian cycle in the ManaSphere. This cycle is varied dependent upon laditudal location due to the varied lengths of solar exposure to the ManaSphere.
This slight “attunement” to day/night sarcadian rhythm should in no way disrupt the standard use of magic as understood today. The conduite (i.e. spellcaster, focus or other awakened user) that manipulates mana would itself be attuned to this rhythm through a natural response to the change in Solar radiation.
In this natural response may lie the reason for the adverse reactions to natural sunlight in the infected. I believe HMHVV causes the infected to be constaly attuned only to the nightime, or near Solar Radiantly defiecent state of the ManaSphere. When exposed to the alternative attunement caused by the presence of this radiation the infected’s personal aura is in some way rejected by the the local background.
An artifial analoge would be difficult to produce but within our techological grasp. However, the magical background would need to be “primed” and the change to a daytime attunement may not be possible in a short time frame. Which could explain the falure of artifial light to produce the adverse reations that true solar radaition seems to produce in an instentanious effect. In essence the background would need to be “heated” and would gradually change to a daytime attunement much like daybreak or the change from night to twilight to day.
