Her army invaded four worlds, slaughtering millions and bathing entire continents in blood in their quest. The souls of those slain were captured by this device, turned into candles which were then burned to power the portals necessary to cross the vastness of space and time.Ilyena was finally stopped when a team of heroes, made up of survivors of the worlds her army slaughtered, banded together to retrieve the now-destroyed Starkiller Rod, which they sacrificed their lives to activate on the fifth planet she was invading. Had they known their sacrifice would cause that planet's sun to explode, they might have thought twice about their actions. But the rod itself was destroyed by the stellar boom, ending its own much-storied reign of terror and destruction.How this item survived that sun's death and how it was able to open portals or hold multiple souls is currently unknown. What is known is that the Soul-Sconce can be used on a dying creature to trap their soul, which appears on it as a candle. Only one soul can be held at a time, and if it already holds a soul that soul is swapped with the one being captured. If the candle is lit, a caster regains a spell slot equal to one-third the creature's level (minimum 1), and the soul that was captured is sent to Asmodeus.Next item: A silver cowbell</blockquote>
