The Candelabrum of Invocation is a unique item required to perform the invocation ritual, which in turn is required to ascend. Vlad the Impaler carries the Candelabrum at the top level of his tower, located in the middle of Gehennom.

In order to light the Candelabrum, you must first attach seven candles to it. Do this by applying candles while carrying the Candelabrum. The Candelabrum provides a light radius slightly larger than an ordinary lamp, so it is recommended that you minimize the time the Candelabrum is needlessly lit. You can use the extra light radius for expert jumping on Astral to great effect.

Mythology

Bell, Book and Candle is a Catholic excommunication ritual, although in the source code the candelabrum is sometimes referred to as a menorah, the seven branched candelabrum of Jewish ritual.
