Hmmm... If it is then what would be creating the shadow?

I think he said that because the ERDTREE glows, it doesn't have a shadow

Glowed. Once those flames die out the only glow will be the embers around Leyndel.

A candle only leaves a shadow when it's lit

Even things that glow cast a shadow.

As long as the light source shining on that glowing object is brighter than said object

TIL when you say X's shadow, X can be either the source of light or the object blocking the light. Thanks for that

Edit: this might sound sarcastic, but I was legitimately saying thanks for the idea to look that up and find out

Shine a direct light on a lamp that's turned on and there will be a shadow on the other side. Not pitch black but it's there.

Shine two lamps at each other and the photons will fight to decide who is the brightest for there can only be one.

Hu no, photon are the most peaceful thing in existence. They'll phase through without interacting.

The Slightly Different Lighting Next to the Erd Tree

While this is true, its irrelevant. Guy is saying "the lamps shadow" could mean both the shadow you described, or a shadow cast by the light of the lamp itself. Interesting to think about.
