[[File:IconWaveofLightIconWaveLight.jpgpng|left]]'''Wave of Light''' is a Spirit Spending [[Monk skill]] enabled unlocked at [[clvl|levelLevel]] 29. The Monk emits a rolling wave of Holy fire that scorches enemies in its path.
<br><br><br>__TOC__
==Background==
This skill is best known for one of its potential rune effects, in which the [[Monk]] summons a large mystical bell, which he then strikes with his fist. The bell, charged with [[holy]] energy, smashes into and through enemies in a straight line. This was demonstrated in a Blizzcon panel, while the actual skill has not yet been properly seen.
==Skill Effects==
The following is a very quick list. See the [[Wave of Light rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

==Skill Design==
This [[skill]] first appeared at [[BlizzCon 2010]], though it's too high of a level to have been tested out by players yet. Our information comes from the skill description, and one panel-demonstrated runestone effect.
==Synergies==
* No [[synergies]] with any of the [[passive skill]]s are yet known.
==Development==
This skill was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2010]], although due to the level required to purchase the skill, it was not playable in the demo. [[Wyatt Cheng]] spoke briefly about it:<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-gameplay-panel-transcript/P2/ Diablo 3 Gameplay Panel Transcript] -- Incgamers 23rd Oct 2010</ref>:<br>
<blue>Wave of Light. He summons a mystical bell that he shoots out at range. It's kind of a combination of a melee and ranged attack. One of the things that I really like about this skill is that we need to differentiate the Barbarian from the Monk, they are both melee classes and in his case he's about combining mystic arts with martial arts and I like the evocative imagery that happens here. The concept of a mystical bell that he fires off, it's very vivid. </blue>
Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], and Wave of Light became a level 29 skill.
