I know when one casts protection they are surrounded by a golden haze.
Perhaps upon casting protection the sight range of the caster is extended
as if they're holding a lit candle?

I would have thought that a haze is not luminous. What would be the
rationale for the extended sight? I neither see any connection
between light and magic protection; is there any reference, maybe?

I always figured the haze was luminous by nature. Extended sight would mean
more protection for the caster, being able to see whatever is coming
towards him in a darkened corridor, room or mine.

What about confuse monster. Hands are absolutely glowing bright red if
cast or read several times in succession. Shouldn't that glow illuminate
the dungeon somewhat and shouldn't monsters try to avoid it?
