Ancestor Candle
A candle of dark purple wax about as long and wide as a strong man's thigh. the candle is carved with stylized branches and leaves. If one sequesters themself in a dark room and lights the candle, they summon the spirit of their immediate ancestor, if they lit with their right hand, this summons their father, with their left hand, their mother. If the summoned parent is still alive, their body collapse wherever they are as their spirit is drawn to the room.
If the candle is snuffed out, the apperition remains. If it is lit again, the spirit is returned, replaced with their parent. This is repeatable ad-nauseum.
The candle burns down an inch per summoned spirit. It begins about 12 inches tall.
