Effects
While cursed, reduces your rescue cooldown. Reduces more time based on how close the curse is to expiring, and also slightly increases luck if the curse isn't weakened.
— In-game description
Reduces rescue cooldown when rescuing with an active curse. The time reduced depends on the curse's length.
The maximum cooldown reduction is 60 minutes, achieved with a curse that expires in 02:23:59 or less. A curse that expires in 02:24:00 results in 59 minutes of reduction. Every 4 hours and 47 minutes of additional curse time causes Candle's effect to be diminished by 1 minute, up to a minimum reduction of 10 minutes.
