Torch Bearer



Torch Bearer is a player enchantment that makes you the bringer of the light of civilization. This rune is designed to bring light to dark areas and to tame the wild by preventing monsters from spawning. Once activated, the Torch Bearer rune places an enchantment on the character that persists until it runs out of Runic Energy. The rune constantly scans a 7 meter radius bubble around the player. If it detects that the light level is too low (currently 4), it will try to place a new permanent torch on a solid surface.

The combined Effect is that torches are sparingly distributed around the player as needed. The combined lighting will (hopefully) prevent mobs from spawning. Torch Bearer will become active on the surface at Night, and so can be used to light up towns and the roads you travel between towns. It will deactivate when it expends all its Runic Energy by creating torches.

TODO: Player enchantments like Torch Bearer and Zeerix Chest need to be turned into armor enchantments (shiny texture, blue text) so that they can be turned on and off just like tool enchantments and so they can feed off of Runic Energy tied to the player instead of their own rune.

Legacy Notes
Torch Bearer was originally inspired by Phantom Torch, but the functionality has changed so much that the name was changed too.
