The candle burns with a cold, blue-white flame that casts no warmth but illuminates hidden truths. It leaves no wax residue but instead deposits fine dust - the ground remains unmarked. The flame responds to nearby death, burning brighter when culling occurs. It cannot be extinguished by wind or water, only by the bearer's surrender.

The Corpse Candle serves as a protective ward. Its bearer is granted fleeting glimpses of upcoming eliminations - shadows of the culling to come - allowing those who carry this flame to strategically position themselves against the frontier's inevitable judgments.
