The item clearly says one thing but some of you want it to say something else. You can argue 'intent' all day long, but I will argue wording. It says you meditate and pray for 8 hours, neither of those are necissarily very taxing. There might be some exceptions, but they are not the rule.As for the candle, you light it and then must remain within the area meditating. So, the activation is lighting it. Much like when you activate a ring of invisibility you are then invisible until you perform a hostile action. Just because you are invisible does not mean it is taxing, you are already done with the item anyway. Or, much like casting a light spell, the wizard must stay within some light reading his book. Casting the light spell and sitting within its radiance is not taxing.So, 8 hours of meditation and prayer can be pretty relaxing, people do it all of the time in the real world as a mode of relaxation. Without further game terms then we have to fall to that (if meditation and prayer happens to be exhausting or nonrestful to you that isnt important here, we can simply assume that it is restful unless your diety specifically makes it not).Next we have the actual item description: A divine caster must light it. ok. Then they must spend 8 hours near it meditating. Ok. now they get to prepare their spells and all are maximised. All right, all of my prepared spells are maximised.Nothing about it being divine only spells that are maximised. That would be a houserule.But anyway, whatever you want to do with it in your games ave fun with it.Either way the item is too strong at what it does.</blockquote>
