<incl. candle stats>

Candles of Invocation are specially blessed and prayered tapers which are dedicated to the pantheon of gods of one of the nine alignments.

The typical candle is not remarkable, but it will radiate magic if such is detected, and good or evil will be radiated also if appropriate.
Simply burning the candle will generate a favorable aura for
the individual so doing if the candle‘s alignment matches that of the
character’s. If burned by a cleric of the same alignment, the candle
temporarily increases the cleric’s level of experience by 2, allowing him or
her to cast additional spells, and even normally unavailable spells, as if he
or she were of the higher level, but only so long as the taper is aflame.
Any burning also allows the casting of a gate spell, the respondent being
of the alignment of the candle, but the taper is immediately consumed in
the process. Each candle will burn far 4 hours. It is possible to extinguish
the candle as any other, but it can be placed in a lantern or otherwise
sheltered to protect it from drafts and other things which could put it out,
without affecting its magical properties.
