Candle of Recall (Dec '79, pg 38)
ReplyDeleteThis simple-looking candle can open new vistas for magic-users... By placing the candle on a skull and lighting it, it emits an scent related to that the life of the former 'inhabitant' of the skull, a spice of their homeland, the timber of their frequented forests, or the like. Any magic-user sleeping in proximity to this candle and it's scent will awaken with new knowledge! They may gain an extra chance at a spell they previously missed out on if the candle rests on a magic-user's skull (e.g., another roll on the % Chance To Know Any Given Spell chart). The sleeper may gain insight into a dungeon or wilderness region they themselves have not explored, if the deceased had visited the site during their life. They may learn how to contact beings of power, demi-gods, or extra-planar allies if the deceased had contact with such creatures. The possibilities are as endless as the knowledge of those passed....
The magic-user should begin the session of use with a question in mind, based on what they know of the deceased. If the area of knowledge sought turns out to not be within the experience of the deceased no knowledge is gained. Each candle will only work for a 1d6 sessions, and each use subtracts a year from the end of the magic-user's life span (represented, if you like, as a 1% chance of death when using the candle).

ReplyDeleteCool magic item. Make up some more magic candles. Don't forget the candelabra of sonombulence, the candle of seduction, and the candle of irresistible coughing.
ReplyDeleteLiking the cover. Can't think of anything cool for your project yet.
