{{nihongo|'''{{PAGENAME}}'''|シャイニング ''shainingu'' "Shining"}} is [[Crono]]'s 8th-level [[Tech]] in {{CT}}. It is the most powerful magic spell in the game. [[Serge]], the leading hero of {{CC}}, casts a spell called [[Luminaire (Element)|Luminaire]] with similar animation, magical element, and damage qualities as Crono's tech.
 
==Description==
Levitating into the air, Crono spreads his arms. A green dome swells from the center of the screen and rises. At its optimal size, the screen flashes white and the dome dissipates, causing damage to all foes on screen.
 
==Damage calculation==
''Damage = (Level + Magic) * 50 * 3.2 * (1 - Enemy's Magic Defense/102.4) / Enemy's Elemental Defense + Random Range''
 
==Strategy==
As the most powerful tech damage-wise in ''Chrono Trigger'', it dominates the battle field. Crono, however, has lower [[Magic Attack]], than characters such as [[Magus]] and [[Lucca]], and is seemingly wasted upon him, as his physical attacks are more worthwhile in battle. Equipping Crono with the [[Rainbow]] and [[Prism Spectacles]] can replace a reliance upon this tech. However, should this tech be used, the player can outfit Crono with the [[Silver Stud]] or [[Golden Stud]], to compensate for Crono's low [[Magic Point]] count. Additionally, using [[Magic Capsule]]s on him can also compensate for his low Magic Attack.
 
==Enemy Tech==
Luminaire is also used by [[Golem]], [[Spekkio]], [[Nu Guardian]], and [[Steel Shade]]. The animation is identical to Crono's version of the Tech, minus one key factor: the caster does not levitate above the ground while casting it. [[Once-King Dalton]] has a Tech with very similar animation, called [[Plasma]].
 
In {{CTDS}}, the [[Steel Shade]] boss (a dark version of [[Crono]]) uses {{nihongo|"Scintillation"|ミストレイジング}}, which is effectively the same as Luminaire aside from its name.
 
==Name Origin==
*A ''luminaire ''is an electrical light fixture with one or more light-bulbs.
*It happens to be extremely similar in appearance to the spell Ultima in ''Final Fantasy''. It serves the same function- being the most powerful single spell in its respective game. They may or may not be related. Since the ''Final Fantasy'' series is also created by [[Square Enix]], Crono's tech may be inspired by it.
