Description
While worn, a sunlight maggot grants 1 base AC and 2 DR. Wearing a hennin grants no magic cancellation, and wearing or removing a sunlight maggot takes 1 action. Sunlight maggots are always lit and will light up the area around the hero, acting as a 3-square radius light source that cannot be extinguished by outside sources, such as being underwater or from a drow monster's invoked darkness. A sunlight maggot will also never run out and will remain lit indefinitely. However, unlike dwarvish helms, they cannot be applied to be turned off.
