NAME
        torch - a light source

SYNOPSIS
        no command, only information

DESCRIPTION
        Many races have problems seeing in darkness, which may be encountered
        in caves and dungeons or during night hours. Therefore a light source
        such as a lamp or torch should be basic equiment of every adventurer.

        Torches can be bought at an outfitter. They are not only useful light
        sources, they are also weapons in case you want to convince your
        opponent with hot arguments.

        Torches MUST be wielded while they burn. Therefore if you need a
        light source and need both hands for your weapons, you have to get
        yourself an oil-lamp which you can attach to your gear.

NOTE
        To light the lamp:  'light torch with tinderbox'
                            'light torch with torch'
                            'light torch' (in case you have a tinderbox)

        To put out the light to enhance the duration of the torch:
            'extinguish torch'

        There are some older version of the torch in the game. They work
        more like a lamp (don't have to be wielded), but they will all
        eventually be removed.
