===Rulings===
Radiance has a high Storm Scale rating owing to its lack of intuition and scaling problems. Its flavorful disconnect to the Boros may have led to unpopularity, adding to the issue.
*All radiance spells have a single target (usually a creature). The spell affects that creature and each other creature that shares a color with it.  
*If a radiance spell targets a black-green creature, it will affect black creatures, green creatures, black-green creatures, blue-black creatures, green-white creatures, and so on, as they each share at least one color with the target.
*Oftentimes creatures on both sides of the table will be affected by a single radiance spell.
*Only one creature is targeted. If that creature leaves play or otherwise becomes an illegal target, the entire spell is countered. No other creatures are affected.

*The color of a creature is determined by the colors in its mana cost. This is different from [[color identity]].
*If a radiance spell targets a colorless creature, it doesn't affect any other creatures. A colorless creature shares a color with nothing, not even other colorless creatures.

Radiance is an ability word associated with the Boros Legion of Ravnica. Radiance means "Effect on target [something] that affects all [somethings] that share a color with it." Radiance was introduced in Ravnica: City of Guilds and is only on red or white cards as those are the colors of the Boros Legion.[2]
