Actually, I just want fancier control over my lighting.

Specifically, I want shadows that go from the lower left corner to the upper right corner, filling in the southeast corner of the square. And another, filling in the northwest.

I also want shadows that go from the lower right corner, to the upper left corner. I also want you to fill in the remaining blanks.

This would, naturally, allow for more decorative ambience, and we all like more decorative ambience.

...I'd also giggle like a schoolgirl if I could layer shadows on ceiling lighting.

While we're suggesting things, I'd also like wall darks - a circle of darkness surrounding a certain cell that stops at walls, just as a wall light has a circle of light surrounding a certain cell that stops at walls.

I propose the ability to arbitrarily change lighting on any tile, even in non-tile bounds. This would allow generic fancy lighting effects. Blob shadows for the win.

Oh god, anything that adds more lighting abilities.

I've been having to abuse round lights in many places and it gets laggy D:
