One thing you might have overlooked. Almost all of the time one finds a
bat priest, there'll be a dirty great bat in the area as well. The bat
has it's own glowspot, which will enable the priest to cast the spell.
Effectively the glowspot spell is a way of carrying a part of the bat's
power away from the beastie, and a very useful power it is as well.
Well it's an idea anyway.
