It is possible for Light to be corrupted, as the shard of the Traveler within the [[European Dead Zone]] is corrupting an area of the surrounding forest. In addition, the Light [[Dominus Ghaul]] wielded was corrupted due to him taking Light from the Traveler, which was an act of [[Darkness]].

Like the Darkness, the Light appears to be intelligent in some sense. However, whereas the Darkness seems all too willing to communicate with its servants in their own languages, the Light appears to be more aloof and cryptic, communicating in symbolic visions and signs, if at all.
