That was an ability that she had developed after acquiring her new powers. It consisted of linking her senses with the mana of light and using it to recreate the light patterns of a specific place within her vision. In essence, she could extend her sight within the range of her mana.
That ability was perhaps one of the only reasons she was still alive. Having extended her mana to cover almost the entirety of the tower where she resided, Cecilia had been able to avoid several assassination attempts.
