[[User:Maxwell|Maxwell]] ([[User talk:Maxwell|talk]]) 16:28, 6 October 2023 (UTC) Blue light is stated to have half the brightness of a candle, but on [[Illumination#Candles|the illumination page]], it appears to be the opposite: the candle brightens one hex; blue light, two. Is this some odd case of illumination strength not determining illumination radius?

EDIT: Even more confusing, the prose explaining candles of both kinds doesn't seem to match the adjacent table: "The illumination provided by a tallow candle is barely enough to light combat hexes adjacent to the carrier, a diameter of about 12 feet. More expensive beeswax does better, providing luminosity enough to light a diameter of 15 feet."
