Keeper of the Light relies on Illuminate, a channeled wave that gains damage the longer it is channeled, so a stun that interrupts the channel stops the heaviest hits. Will-O-Wisp pulls enemies without interrupting them, and Solar Bind lowers magic resistance before spell damage arrives. Spell immunity blocks Illuminate, Blinding Light, Solar Bind and Will-O-Wisp.
