Mage light not working

Anyone else having a problem with this? Mage light won't activate. I try again and again and nothing happens. So I log out, log back in and it works. Then stops working working. I hope this can be fixed it is really annoying.

    This has been buggy for a long time, as in from the start of the game.

    Even though the ball of light is not circling you it is still active.

    You can check the character stats screen under Active Effects to see whether it is still active.

    You can also see if there is a "smoke" like effect on your hands.
    This confirms it's active.
    People were moaning about the ball of light being distracting.

    What is interesting is even if you have the Magelight effect turned off in your settings, you still end up with the ball of light many times anyway; strange how sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.

    I did I checked the character status after activating it and thinking it should show up in the stats but it does not. It does and it doesn't. I personally think the ball of light is cool. Yes sometimes it is there and sometimes it is not. Hope this can be fixed.

    For PvP I always hope my ball is not up but the buff is. Then the enemy can't see it either.

The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    I have the problem where it is active but only shows up sometimes. The glow on the hands helps after you morph it but it's still much easier to figure out if I've accidentally turned it off in the middle of the fight if the actual orb would stay out like it's supposed to.

    I use the add-on "Sorcerer Helper" which constantly displays an icon for various Sorcery abilities (controllable via settings) and turns them off when they are active. This helps to let me know when a pet dies or when I don't have Magelight activated, as the respective icon will appear if it is not currently active.

    I check my Stats page. Would rather they fix it to where the orb was circling the entire time, personally.
    Wake up, we're here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up...

    Does the magelight stay on until you toggle it off or is there a timer?
