Candlemaking

At 3rd level, you are able to make candles by succeeding a DC with the Candlemaker's tools(d20 + your proficiency + your Int Mod). Long candles DC 15. Medium candles DC 13. Short candles DC 10. It takes 1 hour to make a long candle. It takes 30 minutes to make a medium candle. It takes 10 minutes to make a short candle. Each candle must have a different spell infused in them unless the candle was a long or medium candle that was modified to smaller candles.

Each candle is a certain number of units. A short candle is 1 unit. A medium candle is 2 units. A long candle is 3 units. At 3rd level, you can have up to two units. This increases as you gain more levels. 5th level 4 units, 9th level 5 units, 13th level 6 units, and 17th level 7 units.

A long candle casts the spell it is infused with after two rounds at the end of your turn. The spell is cast at two levels higher than it's base level. A medium candle casts after 1 round at the end of your turn. The spell is cast one level higher than it's base level. A short candle casts at the end of your turn at their base level.

As a bonus action, you can modify a long candle to split into a medium and a short candle or modify a medium candle into two short candles. You can do this once per long rest.

You also know the Produce Flame cantrip. This spells allows you to activate a candle. If the candle is at a distance, the cantrip automatically succeeds as long as you have line of sight of the candle. 

Candles cannot be used for Soul of Artifice.

Multiple Helping Hands
