Water Candle

The Water Candle is an item that can be used to attract enemies when held, or can be placed to provide light only. It can not be crafted, and can only be found in Dungeons, which tend to contain at least a dozen.

Holding a Water Candle in the player's hand will increase all enemy spawn rates by 33%, and increase the maximum number of simultaneous on-screen enemies by 50%. As well, holding it also increases the chance of having a Blood Moon.

The Water Candle can alternatively be placed on a wood platform, in which case it acts as an ordinary Candle, providing light without affecting enemy spawn rates. However, it burns less brightly than a Candle.
