User becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. when they come into contact with sunlight, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing the existing powers. Some users may be able to draw sustenance from the sun or even slow or stop aging.
The character is able to absorb solar energy such as sunlight or very bright artificial light (at least 1 000 waits) instead of eating or drinking normal food. Requires at least six hours of sunlight per day The character never gets hungry, nor fatigues when exposed to sufficient sunlight and can supplement his nutritional needs with solid food and water whenever necessary, though the user will feel bloated and sluggish (reduce Spd by 10% and all bonuses are -1).
At tenth level of experience or higher, the user does not need to eat, drink water or breathe air! They are effectively solar powered and feed on light energy. Thus, as long as they are exposed to a few hours of sunlight every day, they stay healthy and strong. Being deprived of light will weaken and hurt (but not kill) a user. After two
days without light (even overcast days provide enough light to
satisfy the creatures, so they must be locked away), the Guardian
begins to weaken. Every day without sunlight, the character
loses 20 S.D.C. (then hit points go down to 10). Furthermore, after
seven days the Guardian's attributes, powers, attacks per melee
and bonuses are reduced to half, and after 14 days they are
reduced to one! The character can linger in this feeble state for
decades without dying. One day (24 hours) of exposure to sunlight
is needed to recover for every decade of deprivation. They
recover to full strength in a matter of six hours of exposure to
sunlight for any time less than a year.
