• This candle can be lit and used for up to 5 IC posts.
• This candle can be blown out at any time within those 5 posts to use the remaining wick at another time (example: candle is lit and used for 2 posts, then blown out. It can be relit and the remaining 3 posts used at another time.)
• If the candle is dropped during use, the flame goes out. If the candle is passed to another holder, the flame goes out. If the candle is exposed to Holy/Divine/Light magic, the flame goes out and the wick disperses and must be reformed before being usable again.
• Once all 5 posts of the wick have been used, the candle can be reformed by taking it to a graveyard and burying it in a fresh, "warm" grave overnight. Cold graves will steal the candle.
• When burning, the candle stinks of decaying flesh and burnt hair - this smell tends to linger on the holder for several days.
• Candle does not make the holder "invisible" to anything but undead.

The origins of this candle is unknown, though a seasoned and knowledgeable Dark Arts practitioner might guess it was made by the dark sorceries of a witch. Notably, the wick is made of a tiny braid of hair and the wax is from the fat of a human. The leather binding its base is guessed to be from the skin of something just as dastardly.
