Enlightenment is a runic word that can be done with body armor. The highest Rune required is a Pul, which falls under the semi-rare Rune category, making it relatively inexpensive compared to other rune words. The +2 to Sorceress skill levels makes this armor best suited for sorceresses, as other classes may find this armor disappointing due to its lack of good mods.

5% chance to cast Level 15 Fire when Hit

Blaze is a fire ability that comes from the sorceress’s fire spell skill tree. Leave a wall of blazing fire wherever you move for a short period of time.

A Level 15 Blaze deals 182-201 Fire damage and lasts 18.6 seconds.

5% chance to throw level 15 fireball on hit

Fireball is a fire ability that comes from the sorceress’s fire spell skill tree. Creates a fireball that flies toward its intended target and explodes on impact, dealing Fire damage to any creature within 1 meter.

A level 15 fireball deals 150-175 fire damage.

This mod may seem useful, but its activation condition is On Striking, which means that the Sorceress in question would have to be in close combat for this activation. Almost all Sorceress builds are castors and require them to be as far away from the enemy as possible, casting long-range spells, without getting involved in the heat of battle.

The only version of Sorceress that would find this mod useful is the Sorceress, a Sorceress who uses the Enchant spell to infuse her weapon with heavy Fire damage and into melee to deal death and destruction with her enchanted weapon.

+2 to Sorceress Skill Levels

Without this mod, Enlightenment wouldn’t even be considered a viable option for a Sorceress.

+1 to heat

Heat is a fire skill from the sorceress’s fire spell skill tree. It increases the mana recovery rate and is very useful for sorceresses, who tend to use their mana quickly compared to other classes.

Fire resistance +30

Increases to resistances are always nice, but lighting only offers an increase to fire resistance, meaning that the sorceress using it would need to shore up her other resistances using other gear that provides better resistance coverage.

Summary:

Lighting is a good armor option for sorceresses, due to its +2 to sorceress skill levels and +1 to warmth. However, it lacks one thing that all sorceresses need to be competitive in the game: the Faster Cast Rate mod. Sorceresses destroy enemies primarily by casting spells (with the possible exception of the Sorceress mentioned above); the faster they can cast their spells, the more enemies they can kill in a given period of time. Because of this, many players consider Enlightenment to be “regular” armor; Skin of the Vipermagi is a better alternative if you can find one. Sure, it might only have +1 to all abilities (compared to +2 to Enlightenment), but it has a 30% faster cast rate and offers a boost to all resistances (not just fire). A decent Vipermagi isn’t that hard to find with a bit of dedicated Magic Find Runs, and it’s probably easier to find or trade in compared to the Pul rune needed for Enlightenment.
