Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Low-Light Vision
Type of feat: Racial
Prerequisite: Most elves (except Drow), Half-elf, Rock gnome, Spirit Shaman level 20
Required for: None
Specifics: Low-light vision is the ability to see in conditions of dim illumination as if the illumination were actually as bright as daylight.
Characters with low-light vision have eyes that are so sensitive to light that they can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of shadowy illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions. Thus, if a group of adventurers passes down a dark passage with a torch illuminating a 20-foot radius, an elf with low-light vision can see everything within 40 feet of the torch. A spellcaster with low-light vision can read a scroll as long as even the tiniest candle flame is next to her as a source of light.

As of patch 1.10, both Darkvision and Low-Light Vision are an action mode that can be toggled.

Special: A Wolf animal companion will receive Low-light vision for free at 1st level.

Use: Action Mode

Darkvision
Type of feat: Racial
Prerequisite: Deep gnome, Drow, Dwarf, Gray Orc, Half-drow, Half-Orc, Planetouched, Tanarukk, Shadow Dancer level 2, Dragon Disciple level 10, Pale Master level 3, Shadow Adept level 6, Shifter level 1
Required for: None
Specifics: Darkvision is the extraordinary ability to see with no light source at all, out to a range specified for the creature.
Darkvision is black and white only (colors cannot be discerned). It does not allow characters to see anything that they could not see otherwise -- invisible objects are still invisible, and illusions are still visible as what they seem to be. Likewise, darkvision subjects a creature to gaze attacks normally.

The presence of light does not spoil darkvision. If a character has darkvision with a 60-foot range, and he stands within a 20-foot radius of light, the character can see normally in the light, and 40 feet beyond the light because of his darkvision.

As of patch 1.10, both Darkvision and Low-Light Vision are an action mode that can be toggled. Note that there is no way to get this feat if your race does not have it by default. Items that supposedly grant you this feat don't in fact do anything, a human who equips an item with a Darkvision property will NOT get the darkvision feat. Same is true for Low-Light vision, this feat is available only if your race qualifies for it.

Special: A Giant spider animal companion will receive Darkvision for free at 1st level.

Use: Action Mode

Remember the shards of the Silver Sword? Ability bonuses, attack bonuses, etc, on items that are not equipable. There were others in MotB. Not sure what changed that, or if light for some reason never worked in spite of most other things working.

So, technically, the Light of Mystra + Low Light Vision SHOULD have worked, logically speaking, but didn't.

I am 100% aware of that. I thought I had made it clear that what I was going for was the combo of a light source + Low Light Vision. Sorry if that was not clear.

The Silver Shards, and the MotB items you refer to, were explicitly configured to grant their effects to the owner. These mushrooms have not. And again, the script does not check items you're not actively wearing anyway, so the presence or absence of passive illumination is a moot point. (Since this would likely require iterating over your entire inventory every time the check was executed, I don't expect any changes on that front anytime soon.)

Yeah, my point was that I thought I did have a light source in the Light of Mystra, because it says it is. Turns out the mushroom is a dirty, filthy, liar. Bad mushroom!!!
