Reassure torch.

Your words ease the torch’s fears. The flame settles into a soft tea-candle glow around the torch’s head.

Very well. I will put my trust in you. I ask only that you bear me well.

With one final flicker, the flame extinguishes itself, leaving only a wisp of smoke that curls affectionately around your jaw.

All this sun laying has me hungry, time to go find some food!

There’s no need for that--you have plenty of rations in your inventory! However, as you peruse them, you find that the dried fruits, bread, and salted meats you packed for your journey seem appealing. You nibble idly on a preserved apricot before letting it fall back into your pack.

Then, something catches your eye! A rabbit sitting at the edge of a patch of tall grass. It looks delicious. You settle down onto your belly, working the strong muscles of your sides and tail to move in smooth curves along the ground.

That little morsel won’t know what hit it by the time you get your fangs in its neck.

Congratulations! You have discovered every effect of {CANDESCENT VIAL}

Touch slate with hilt

The two don’t seem to react to one another, but as you hold them close together you note several more similarities between the etchings on the slate and those on the hilt.

Runic Slate

Swing hilt

The hilt of a single-handed weapon, absent any sign of a blade. Intricate engravings circle the handle, winding downward in a tight spiral that breaks only to allow room for three smooth but otherwise ordinary stones set into the grip. Among the engravings you recognize several symbols also found on your {Runic Slate}.

I extinguish the torch with itself

You entreat the torch to extinguish itself. It hesitates, its flame flickering uncertainly.

*lays in the sun to absorb plenty of warmth for the day*

As you lie in the sun, you feel yourself practically glowing with energy! You also notice yourself literally glowing, as the effect magnifies the potion’s candescence.
