Thanks for all the advice and comments, guys. I like the idea of the illumination area of effect.
And I definitely won't be putting any penetration in it!

Target illumination sounds really cool. Nevertheless for me it seems pretty the same as a circle/ring combination. The only difference is that the magus does not need to draw a circle or to pace off the circle.

There are two traditional definitions of a "pace":
The (1) definition is about ¾ meter, and is the traditional Byzantine pace; the (2) definition is about 1.5 meter, and is the traditional Roman pace, or five Roman feet.
There are at least three additional paces one might reasonably use:
3. one modern yard (91.44 cm),
4. one modern meter, and
5. one modern marching step (about ¾ meter*).
Which do we use? I'm not convinced it's terribly necessary to define which, except to be sure that everyone playing at a given table is using the same definition. Even then, it's reasonable for it to be a fairly squishy unit, since magic is flexible and a lot of other units in Ars Magica have fairly squishy definitions too.
