Candlebright Vine
Description
The Candlebright Vine, a creeping flora, thrives in dimly lit environments such as the heart of dense forests or subterranean caverns. Its distinguishing features are its lustrous, dark green leaves and petite, white blossoms that radiate a soft, steady light akin to that of a candle. This vine, capable of reaching lengths of up to 20 feet, is often observed entwining itself around tree trunks or rock formations.
Properties
The blossoms of the Candlebright Vine cast a gentle light that bathes the immediate vicinity in a 5-foot radius of dim light. These luminescent flowers can be discerned from a distance of up to 100 feet. The emitted light is constant, devoid of any flicker or fluctuation.
Cultivation
Propagation of the Candlebright Vine is achieved through the seeds nestled within its flowers. These seeds require a dark environment to germinate and the vine favors cool, damp soil. Once sown, the vine requires minimal maintenance but necessitates a structure for climbing, such as a trellis or tree. The luminosity of a plucked flower fades after an hour.
Applications
The dried blossoms of the Candlebright Vine hold uses beyond their natural allure. When combined with rot, flour, and basic poison to form a paste and applied to the eyes, it grants the ability to perceive in darkness up to 120 feet.
