Shine Guide This guide was written so that you know all about Light's Shine ability which is the main focus of the game A Light's Tale. Shine is something that Light gains the ability to do as soon as he gains the Flashlight, the most important item in the whole game. The syntax for shine is: SHINE FLASHLIGHT AT ____________. There are some exceptions to this rule but you will be told when you gain the ability to use other forms of shine. Shine is when Light makes his flashlight go from a small, trivial bit of light to an incredibly high-powered beam of light. This is basically all you need to know for shine to start the game. You'll discover when to use it all by yourself. Have fun, Light.
