A candle of invocation provides light and never burns out, making it a somewhat useful tool to take into Gehennom and other dark places.

However, the main use of this type of candle is to summon extra-planar beings, the main use of which is to summon a djinni in order to make a wish.

Use

To use the candle, light it with (a)pply and then #invoke it. This will produce a menu from which one of the candle's summoning functions can be chosen. The candle will be consumed.

Summon Djinni

Summons a djinni, which immediately grants one wish to the summoner.

Summon Servant

Summons a tame angel, demon, fey, or primordial being. See the pets page for some suggestions.

Summon Demon Lord

Summons a hostile demon lord (chosen off a menu). The main use of this function is to summon a particular demon lord to kill for its equipment.
