# Candle of Invocation *Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)*  This candle's magic is activated when the candle is lit, which requires a [Magic](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/actions.md#Magic) action. After burning for 4 hours, the candle is destroyed. You can snuff it out early for use at a later time. Deduct the time it burned in increments of 1 minute from its total burn time. While lit, the candle sheds [Dim Light](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/dim-light-xphb.md) in a 30-foot radius. While you are within that light, you have [Advantage](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/advantage-xphb.md) on [D20 Tests](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/d20-test-xphb.md). In addition, a Cleric or Druid in the light can cast level 1 spells they have prepared without expending spell slots. Alternatively, when you light the candle for the first time, you can cast [Gate](3-Mechanics/CLI/spells/gate-xphb.md) with it. Doing so destroys the candle. The portal created by the spell links to a particular Outer Plane chosen by the DM or determined by rolling on the following table. `dice: [](candle-of-invocation-xdmg.md#^1-outer-plane)` | dice: 1d100 | Outer Plane | |-------------|-------------| | 01-05 | "Abyss" | | 06-10 | "Acheron" | | 11-17 | "Arborea" | | 18-25 | "Arcadia" | | 26-33 | "Beastlands" | | 34-41 | "Bytopia" | | 42-46 | "Carceri" | | 47-54 | "Elysium" | | 55-59 | "Gehenna" | | 60-64 | "Hades" | | 65-69 | "Limbo" | | 70-77 | "Mechanus" | | 78-85 | "Mount Celestia" | | 86-90 | "Nine Hells" | | 91-95 | "Pandemonium" | | 96-00 | "Ysgard" | ^1-outer-plane *Source: Dungeon Master's Guide (2024) p. 241*
