Lantern charm
Lantern charms were released in 2010 Giftboxes commemorating the 20th Anniversary of GemStone. They can be used once per day to transport to the nearest town, and also to play with a ball of flame. Lantern charms are character-bound and thus cannot be transferred.

| RAISE | You grasp your lantern charm by its chain and hold its light aloft.
The flame within the lantern builds and brightens, escalating rapidly from bright to blinding. A heady rush overcomes you as the charm's radiance suffuses your flesh and falls, like a glowing veil, over your vision. Heat blossoms within your core, and a soft voice promises, "While hearth and home are firm in your heart, they cannot be more than a breath away from your lungs." All about you, golden fire dances, and you feel as if you are a part of the flame. Just as you are about to give yourself to the wild euphoria of the light, a gentle but firm presence pulls you back. The flame dims to embers, which become naught but cinders that pirouette away to reveal your changed surroundings. You look around and see... [Wehnimer's, Treehouse] |

| EXHALE (when open) |
Raising your lantern charm before your face, you blow a thin stream of air into the flickering flames. A tight sensation tugs at your chest, as if something more essential than air is being fed into the fire. Sparks lick off of the niveous light within the lantern, spiraling about in the air before coalescing into a floating orb of niveous flame.
Flickering tongues of fire erupt from the surface of a floating orb of niveous flame as its light steadies. You also see a floating orb of niveous flame |

>l flame Motes of green light wash through the center of the floating niveous flame, multiplying and spiraling outward until they have completely overwhelmed its hue with their own. The shutter on your lantern charm sluggishly pulls itself closed, obscuring its niveous light. The flame wobbles sullenly before going out in a tiny explosion of light. |
