History of Beacons of Empowerment

Beacons of Empowerment is the Exotic Intrinsic perk on Phoenix Cradle. It doubles the duration of Sol Invictus benefits and grants Sol Invictus to allies who pass through your Sunspots.

In the July 15, 2025 Edge of Fate update, Bungie added two effects: sustained Solar weapon damage while standing in a Sunspot extends that Sunspot, and granting Solar buffs to allies can create a Sunspot at your feet.
