*Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)*

This slender taper is dedicated to a deity and shares that deity's
alignment. The candle's alignment can be detected with the *detect evil
and good* spell. The GM chooses the god and associated alignment or
determines the alignment randomly.

The candle's magic is activated when the candle is lit, which requires
an action. After burning for 4 hours, the candle is destroyed. You can
snuff it out early for use at a later time. Deduct the time it burned in
increments of 1 minute from the candle's total burn time.

While lit, the candle sheds dim light in a 30-foot radius. Any creature
within that light whose alignment matches that of the candle makes
attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks with advantage. In
addition, a cleric or druid in the light whose alignment matches the
candle's can cast 1st-level spells he or she has prepared without
expending spell slots, though the spell's effect is as if cast with a
1st-level slot.

Alternatively, when you light the candle for the first time, you can
cast the :ref:`gate` spell with it. Doing so destroys the candle.
