2 wide corridors and light spell

[Raggy]

Kind of annoying that these rooms/hallways doesn't lit up. Is this by design?

Aim wand of light (x2).

Thats a workaround.

Scroll of light, or spell of light lights up a big room just fine, e.g. 10x10, but only lits up about 5x2 in a corridor.

Angband is so old that it's more or less impossible to say what is working by design and what's just working by how the code's written. During dungeon generation certain tiles are marked as being inside rooms; these are the only ones that Light Area will extend to beyond its base radius. Obviously this doesn't happen for corridors.

If the effect gets modified to make cavern areas less tedious then this would probably also be "fixed" by the same change.

so how come it lits the hallway/corridor around the 20x5 rooms?

That hallway is part of the room definition, and as such gets marked as Room space.
