-The magic candle's light radius and high base price of 250 [[zorkmids]] makes it trivial to distinguish via [[price identification]].

Unlike a [[magic lamp]], it weighs much less and can be [[wish]]ed for, allowing you to freely [[rub]] those lamps for wishes - this also means less reliance on the Candelabrum for end-game jumping.

 ===The Candelabrum===
-Unless there are not seven candles in the game – unlikely with the introduction of [[wax golem]]s – do not attach these to the [[Candelabrum of Invocation]]. Doing so simply makes the candle mundane ("It looks very ordinary"), effectively wasting it; you cannot get an eternally-lit 4-square radius light source even if you attach 7 magic candles to the Candelabrum. You would get a slightly longer lifetime out of the Candelabrum (600 turns) by doing so, but this is hardly worth the multiple wishes that it would likely require.
