Enlightened sources of enchanted energy. Lums (pronounced “Looms,” like ilLUMination, and not Lums, for dumb) are beings of pure energy possessed of a mind-bogglingly sunny disposition. They are an important source of magical energy in the Glade of Dreams, making Lums Racing a popular Glade-wide sport. The competition pits up to four players against each other in crazy cross-country competitions to collect Lums. Anything goes in this wild race, or as we say around here, no smack is too packed. While all players go home winners, only one takes the prize: the player who nabs the most nap-happy Lums, of course! No holds barred!—Official site, Rayman Origins
A Lum is a small body (or shard) of magical energy which is found in the Rayman games starting from Rayman 2. Generally, there are six different types of Lums that are determined by colour, though in Rayman 3 there is the existence of Black Lums. They usually appear as small lights with insect-like wings, though in Rayman M and the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman 3, Lums look like crystal balls. The name is derived from the French word 'lumière', which means 'light'. Lums in Rayman Kart look like piles of gold money and there are roughly two million of them. In Rayman Origins they will bear limbs, eyes and a mouth and will serve as a currency in the Glade of Dreams.
