  • Corpse-candles
rdfs:comment
  • Undead spirits, Corpse Candles could create the illusion of being a whole, healthy creature by cloaking the hideous remains of its once-living body. They lurked in water and exuded a beckoning light that magically attracted victims. Those seeing the glow had to resist a spell, with failure resulting in the victim falling into a deadly trance. Corpse Candles and Corpse lanterns were lesser and greater manifestations of the same basic sort. They were remnants of those who, already lying unquiet, were flooded in their graves.
