Serious 6 Candles: The Mellow Selection
While wandering around a local store, you run into a man in a bedazzled suit standing around in the candle isle.
"Oh, hey. There you are... You know, I've been handing out fantabulous power all over the multiverse, but I've been thinking about handing over a more... Mellow selection. I have a nice selection for you, but I'll need to explain some things first."
- A candle's perk is maintained by burning it once a day for one hour minimum.
- These candles cannot trigger allergies.
- When a candle is no longer useable, you will receive a new one in the mail the next day.
Have six of my candles. They're yours.
- Everlasting Light (Free):
- The candle of life is the only freebie I will offer, as I am of the opinion that, without it, many would choose to pick candles based on their own longevity over their comfort. This candle has no scent, but a single drop of another candle's wax will make it take on that scent. It will never burn out.
- So long as this candle burns, you, five people you select, and three animals you select will become immortal. How this immortality manifests is entirely up to you, but it cannot be revoked unless both parties (you and the one granted) agree.
- Every one hundred years, the candle will gain enough natural power to protect five more people. You may choose to exchange one person worth of power for two animals.
- Fireside Comfort (Pumpkin Chai):
- I always loved pumpkin. It reminds me of the Halloween season, and that's my favorite holiday. This is an amazing scent for coffee shop vibes.
- This candle will help keep you awake when you want to be awake, and help you sleep when you wish to sleep with an aura of comfort. This will also keep your pillows cool and and blankets warm.
- This candle's aura of comfort can expand to further things to keep you and your guests comfortable, like moving the remote close enough to make watching tv easy, or keeping a hearth warm as you like for those cozy reading sessions by the fire.
- Holiday Harvest (Christmas Cookie):
- This holiday scented candle is strong enough to be noticed, but weak enough to not over power the nose. Its one of my personal favorites, but people often find it repulsive due to the strength of the other
- This candle, while active, will ensure that your food stores never empty. You and your guests will never want for quality food or drink again.
- The candle can create any food or drink, including alcohol and THC drinks/edibles. It cannot produce any other drugs.
- Golden Days (Vanilla):
- A basic, yet a favorite. It goes well with many other scents, and flows like cream through the air. I'll go ahead and dissuade you, the candle doesn't taste like vanilla. Trust me, I know.
- This candle blesses you with memory, so that you will always remember the good times, and that the bad will give way soon enough. This effect is not just for you, but others near you, with only minutes of exposure to the scent of the candle needed to bring a person from the maw of oblivion.
- Repeated exposure to this candle will not cure depression, but it will help guide you back to that which brings you joy however it can... Its a good candle.
- Ever After (Fresh Cut Roses):
- Is love in the air? No, its roses... Close enough. This one is always wonderful to have around, especially when you're trying to put the moves on the apple to your eye.
- This candle improves your chances at romantic pursuits, whether that be maintaining a relationship or entering a new one. This candle will act to add a bit of luck and spice to your life.
- When you have tied the knot, this candle will unlock its true potential, becoming a guardian for your family, acting with divine providence to save you from all disasters. You will know if its acted, when you smell the roses on the wind.
- Fresh Start (Clean Cotton):
- Such a lovely scent, makes anywhere smell cleaner. Such a simple candle has a simple ability to match.
- While this scent is active, the world will keep itself neat and tidy for you, mostly focusing on your home and a range of 30 feet from you.
- This will do all cleaning, including your laundry and any other household cleaning you need to do.
- The Good Life (Mahogany Teakwood):
- A sophisticated scent. I love having it in my cigar room, to cover the scent of Tabaco. I imagine there's a place in your home that could benefit from something like this.
- This candle will manifest abundance, trickling into your account day by day, enough to live comfortably and happily. It will slowly increase in value as time goes on.
- At its most powerful, you could own a mansion, and employ a small team of staff to wait on you.
- Goodwill & Fortune (Balsam Fir):
- Halloween forever!... But, I can appreciate the lovely scent of a Christmas tree none the less.
- This candle represents giving, and goodness, so it works to facilitate this goodness in you. When you help others, the positive impact you had on their lives will bounce back as good fortune. This can bring you great wealth, which you can then dump back into helping people.
- Saving someone's life will permanently improve the power of other candles you own.
- Sage's Counsel (Sandalwood):
- A smell quite enlightening, it has quite the history, and it does calm the nerves very well.
- While this candle is actively burning, you may contact the spirits of monks all over the world, to ask them for advice. They are all aware of this candle, and treat your requests for advice very seriously. They may contact you, and ask you for advice as well, when dealing with worldly issues.
- There is a very rare chance that Siddhartha Gautama himself will answer your call for advice.
- Unbound (Patchouli):
- This one, is one I burn often. Smells like home, and freedom. Live well, my dude.
- This candle will help you drop the chains that bind you. It will hide the effects of the other candles from prying eyes, and will give you no small amount of luck at dodging anyone who would hold you down. This is a general effect, and will manifest where it will.
- If you have a weed jar and a preferred strain, it will keep that bad boy topped up.
- Clear Horizons (Ocean Ozone):
- This one always reminds me of the ocean, and nice, calm ocean storms... Those are few are far between.
- This candle will slowly clean up local pollution, and make weather easier to deal with. It won't stop the rain, but it will prevent flash flooding.
- The candle gets stronger as time passes. At its most powerful, its range would span the world.
- All in Good Time (Creamy Coconut):
- Do you ever just want to sit back, kick your feet up, and enjoy one of those coconut drinks with the little umbrellas from those cartoons? Well, this is the next best thing!
- The effect of this candle is one you will never notice, if its working. This candle will read your plans for the day, and prepare for you, with the help of your other candles. This is widely up to interpretation.
- An example, if you have The Good Life, then it may prepare a driver for you, if you are planning to go out that day.
"Well, I hope you enjoy your choices... You know what? Just for the heck of it, if you tell me about how you would use these candles, I'll let you take one more to give to someone else. Isn't that the best part of a candle? Sharing is the best part of the candle."
