Torch Spell

This article is about the spell. For the item, see Torch (Item).

“A spell book!” Donut cried when she opened her Bronze Boss Box. I didn’t have time to read the description before she glowed, indicating she’d already applied it to herself. A moment later, Donut cried with rage.^[1]

Torch is a utility spell that creates an orb of flaming light that follows the crawler around.^[2][3] It works underwater.^[4]

Levels

Beginning at an early level, the caster can adjust the brightness; at higher levels, its brightness can range from a tiny ember to a blinding beam of light.^[5][6] As a crawler trains the spell, they gain more control over the size and movement of the light, including the ability ton send it in any direction and, at around level 10-12, to attach it to nearby surfaces.^[7][8]

A level 13 Torch spell can stun Vampires at regular strength, or set their heads aflame at maximum brightness.^[9]
