You mean the corona effect on lights?

With large light sources, ex if i have a big bright light (mabye the sun) behind a castle i want it to partialy occlude the castle.

Well...perhaps this is an el cheapo hack...but couldn't you have a whole bunch of small corona sprites where the Sun is at, so when you look at the Sun (half blocked by a tree or building) these sprites would be glowing to some extent?
