Candlelight conjures a small glowing orb that hovers over your head and follows you around for 60 seconds. It does everything a torch does, except it’s weightless, never runs out and leaves both hands free. The one catch: you can’t put it away to hide in the dark – it has to fade on its own.
Tips
Dual casting more than doubles the duration. It’s a lifesaver in the Twilight Sepulcher and in dark places where you otherwise take damage.
