Dead or alive, the mermaids are far more accustomed to life deep under the sea. Their eyes aren't suited to exposure to deep light, and they will naturally recoil from it. They might also go blind easier, so if Alina's got a soft stomach about that... well.
However: the mermaids are not stupid. If Alina burns them with the light a bit, and she ever falls overboard, they will go after her. With a vengeance.
Some of Unhalad's undead will also be noticeably put off or frightened by pure light. It has no actual effect on their health, but they do not like it, and will turn away from it.
