A magic candle is a tool that appears in SLASH'EM. It appears simply as a candle when unidentified.
The Candle of Eternal Flame is an artifact magic candle.
Description
When lit, a magic candle gives a 3-tile radius of light tiles and burns indefinitely without melting - while it cannot normally appear as "partly used", the variable for whether a light source has been used at least once is still applied. This renders a magic candle unable to be sold if it was ever lit, and a "fresh" candle will stack separately from lit ones; it is unknown if a usage fee is incurred this way. A bug in wizard mode prevents any kind of magic candles from being sold.
Attaching a magic candle to the Candelabrum of Invocation will revert it to a mundane candle that burns for slightly longer.
Strategy
The magic candle's light radius and high base price of 250 zorkmids makes it trivial to informally identify. As a permanent light source, magic candles are particularly useful for polearm and lance users (such as Yeomen and Knights) and jumping players. Unlike a magic lamp, it weighs much less and can be wished for, allowing you to freely rub the lamps for wishes - this also means less reliance on the Candelabrum for late-game jumping.
