Description

A finely bent metal sheet that will hold some oil and a wicker.

A metal torch can be used to produce light.

Used in the creation of an Iron torch lamp, but can also be used as a personal light source,.
Fill it with 0.13 kg of olive oil or tar, then light it with a steel and flint.

Oil is rumored to produce light for longer than tar.
When full it will burn for almost 24 hours depending on quality (further studies are needed to determine more precise burn times).
If the torch is painted, the light from the torch will be the color of the dye used. (However, black dye has no effect on the light of the torch.)
The torch quality determines how far the lantern can illuminate.
On failing to create you lose 0.08 kg from the iron lump.
