Dabble Candles — Legacy Witch Art
Candles is a legacy Witch Art that uses flame, shadow, coloured light and ritual illumination as channels for spellcraft. It belongs to the preserved d20 Dabble system.
Choose Candles If…
- You want subtle ritual magic built around flame, shadow and coloured light.
- You like divination and atmosphere more than battlefield spectacle.
- You want an Art that is easy to weave into everyday Witch rituals.
What it feels like to play: Candles is ideal for a Witch whose magic begins quietly: a wick catches, a shadow moves the wrong way, and suddenly the room feels different.
Legacy rules note
This Art uses the preserved d20 Witch rules. Its original prerequisites and spell progression remain below; other editions need a deliberate conversion.
Candle-workers use controlled flame and changing light as magical symbols, focuses and sources of divination. The original d20 write-up bars lawful Witches; campaigns may instead require a particular ritual tradition or style of practice.
Power: Candlesight: The witch gains Low-Light Vision; if she already possesses this ability, she can now see three times as far (instead of twice as far) as a creature without it.
