The Candelabrum
Main article: Candelabrum of Invocation
Candles can be applied to the Candelabrum of Invocation. The Candelabrum acts like an ordinary light source if at least one candle is applied to it. It will last as many turns as the first candle that was applied would have burned. The Candelabrum will not light if cursed.
Light radius 4:

Lanterns and lamps
Brass lanterns and oil lamps can be refilled by a scroll of charging; a blessed scroll will refill them to 1500 turns, an uncursed scroll will add 750 turns to a maximum of 1500. An oil lamp with 1000 or fewer turns left can also be refilled by #dipping it into a potion of oil, getting twice the remaining turns left in the potion. (Attempting to refill an oil lamp with a lit potion of oil, or while the lamp is lit, will cause an explosion dealing 6 to 36 points of damage). No lamp can be filled beyond 1500 turns.

Magic lamps never run out of power, and may summon a djinni and lead to a wish when #rubbed.

There is no difference between wax and tallow candles except for their lifespan. You can mix different candle types on the Candelabrum.
Candles can be randomly generated or wished for, but can always be found in Izchak's lighting shop in Minetown. Wishing for candles guarantees up to seven (the number needed on the Candelabrum).
