From BG 2 manual:
"When this spell is cast, it causes a ray of sunlight to beam down upon the caster and all within a 20’ radius. All creatures within the area
of effect take 3-18 points of damage and must save vs. spells or be blinded for 10 rounds. Undead that are hit by the sunray take 1-6
damage for every level of the caster, and must save vs. spells or be destroyed"
It is very effective against undead, fx Lich
Maybe U are too far away from the monster?

A 20' Radius isn't really big. It's smaller than a Fireball Area (30').

The trick with it is to get close to a pack of undead, or to a powerful one, so they all attack you, and then you cast the spell, hoping it won't be interrupted...

If you cast it on non-undead creatures, it's no wonder the damage is low, the spell is designed to take undead down massively.

Casting the spell does take a while, as does casting it using Daystar. However, using the Helm of Brilliance, it's cast instantly.
If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.

You can use spells like Stoneskin or Ironskin to avoid being interrupted while casting (Doesn't work against spells & elementals damages)
