The candle is a fluff script that applies to miscellaneous items. Items with this script can be PUT on the ground for a limited duration, during which other players and the janitor cannot pick them up, as long as the player remains in the room. It can be purchased at both town shops and special merchant shops such as those found at festivals. Candles 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.
