Hail!

Although I am always a little leery of using things in games that have real world religious overtones, I have to say this is a very interesting idea.

The first thing that occured to me was that candles are particularly easy to create in ASCII. So a very graphic approach could be taken to how they are presented. If something can be made visually pretty, along with functional of course, it is more likely to really win player approval. In fact I could see a well developed system like this being a big draw for those of the female population. That is always a big plus in MU* land.

The form does not add much to the difficulty of implimentation, so on that score there are no big problems. It would take as much effort to create as any number of other magic or crafting systems.

A good idea though, and I commend you for suggesting it. We need more 'thinking outside the box' around here.
