A candle is a lightly-scripted item that can be purchased at both town shops and special merchant shops such as those found at festivals. Candles employ the AllMine script, and cannot be picked up while lit.

Analyze

You analyze your ecru candle and sense that this item may be altered by a talented merchant, but it must remain either "<article>,<adjective>,candle" or "<article>,<adjective>,taper" to work properly.  Merchants are not able to add "show" descriptions.

You can try to LIGHT, EXTINGUISH, PUNCH KICK, PUFF, GET, DROP, and GAZE, with a hard-coded LOOK.

You get no sense of whether or not the candle may be further lightened.
