These creations were the strongest and most clever of the works of the Drúedain and the Daen Coentis. Colbran were the closest thing, perhaps, to demons that had ever been created (rather than summoned) by mortal Man. Some could even cast balls of lightning or lightning bolts. Darkness-producing spells had little or no effect on the intense glare of a Colbran, although the equally intense natural Utter darkness of other enchanted beings might weaken (dim) or vanquish (extinguish) them.
