The Witches' Lantern is a magical object, often in the form of a small, handheld lamp or even a pendant that can be worn around the neck. Crafted primarily using leaves from the Burning Bush (Fulgurfrutex luminis), these lanterns emit a soft, glowing light visible only to those who have been attuned to its magic. To the uninitiated, the lantern appears unlit, making it a perfect tool for witches who need to navigate through darkness without revealing their presence.

=== Construction ===
The construction of a Witches' Lantern involves several steps:

# '''Harvesting:''' Leaves from the Burning Bush are carefully harvested during specific lunar phases to maximize their magical potency.
# '''Preparation:''' The leaves are then dried and ground into a fine powder, which serves as the primary ingredient for the lantern's light source.
# '''Enchantment:''' The powder is mixed with other magical reagents and sealed in a transparent or translucent container - often made of crystal, glass, or a similar material that can be magically treated to be durable yet lightweight.
# '''Activation:''' A [[spell]] is cast over the completed lantern, imbuing it with the magic necessary to produce its unique light and make it visible only to specific individuals.
