drawaslight() only affects the NPC's actual image, which in the case of a weapon NPC, is not at all useful.

You can modify where the image is displayed by changing it's layer, i.e. changeimgvis(index, 0); will draw underneath the player, 1 and 2 will draw above the player, 3 above the darkness (seteffect()) layer, 4 upwards on the GUI layer.

Problem is, is that drawing underneath the player will mean that the light effect is mostly shut out by any daynight-style system.
