Shadow Lantern

The Shadow Lantern is a unique type of Moonlantern which provides a  Moonshield and grants the unique  Conjure Shadow Lantern Wraith spell.

Encased in a cocoon of shadow within the lantern, the mangled pixie lies like some deformed pupa, its mouth slack, and those same shadows crawling over its graying tongue.

Special

The holder of this item gains:

 Conjure Shadow Lantern Wraith ()

Cast as a level 6 spell ( Recharge: Long rest.)

Condition: Moonshield

 Moonshield

• Protected by the light of a Moonlantern or Shadow Lantern. The  Shadow Curse does not affect this entity.

Where to find

• Moonrise Towers: Created by having  Gale in the party while combining the following components at the table located at X: -150 Y: -165 within  Balthazar's hidden room:
  •  Broken Moonlantern - carried by  Nere in Grymforge, located at the top of the Grymforge elevator before entering the Shadow-Cursed Lands at X: 37 Y: -1165, or within  Balthazar's hidden room
  •  Dead Pixie - found within  Balthazar's hidden room

Notes

• See ⁠Balthazar's Experiment for more information. While in-game dialogue also allows the slim possibility for the player character to craft this item, the option is only available if Gale is present.
• Merely equipping the lantern in the light source slot is not sufficient to gain the  Conjure Shadow Lantern Wraith ability and the  Moonshield condition; it must be actively wielded, such as by switching to it via the light source toggle button or equipping it directly in the weapon slot.
• Although not clear from the flavour text's description, the lantern emits a bright sphere of light when used in a weapon slot, providing full protection from the  Shadow Curse.
• Unequipping the lantern or switching back to active weapons via the light source toggle button automatically dismisses the conjured  Shadow.

Bugs

• Despite being tagged as a Rare item, the in-game tooltip for the lantern is coloured as a Story Item, like any other  Moonlantern.
• Despite this spell's name, the creature summoned is a  Shadow, not the more powerful  Wraith. It is is unable to climb surfaces such as ladders and knotted roots, and is unable to  Jump,  Fly, or  Warp, meaning it may be unable to follow the party to certain areas. Regrouping is possible by entering a new area or using Waypoints.
