Candle of summoning
When a candle of this type is lit, one round later, a creature is summoned, as with a summon monster spell. The summoned creature is under the control of the character who lit the candle, and persists for as long as the candle burns (10 minutes). If the candle is snuffed out, the summoned creature immediately disappears, and the candle melts into a puddle of non-magical wax.
Candles of summoning exist in several varieties, each of which summons a different sort of creature. The simplest such candles are simple tapers, while the more powerful ones are elaborately carved into wax imitations of the creatures which they summon.
Candles are known to exist that can summon the following sorts of creatures:
Other sorts of summoning candles may exist, that can conjure other sorts of creatures.
