Dragonwilds:Torch

Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox Item Torch is a Tool item that can be wielded in the off-hand to help light up areas around the player, making it easier to see. A player can still block while wielding it, but it will only account for the blocking of the weapon in the player's main hand, and so the torch may be positioned awkwardly. Whilst wielding the torch, the durability will dwindle by 1pt/second, which will take 1800 seconds (30 minutes) before it fully degrades. When creating a new character, a torch will be spawned within the inventory.

The spell Dragonwilds:Fire Spirit largely obsoletes the use of a torch, as it frees up the offhand for a Dragonwilds:Shield or allows for the use of two-handed weaponry, like bows and staves. The spell also does not use up any inventory space or encumbrance.

Journal

The following text is transcribed from the Journal.

Mankind has always struggled against the darkness. The shadows hide a multitude of dangers, each of them longing to tear us apart. It is no surprise, then, that light has been weaponised. Simple wood and wrappings introduced to a flame; one then carries a small fragment of the day's protection in their hand.

Although shadows are banished by its radiance, it serves as a poor defence against steel or claw.
