Clockwork Lantern

Cost: 100 gp

Apprentices find themselves working at all hours and frequently need a good lamp. The clockwork lantern is an improvement on the standard, hooded lantern as it floats up to 10 feet off the ground and can follow a creature that is holding or carrying its control rod. It can alter its wick on command to shed bright light in a radius from 5 to 30 feet and dim light for an additional number of feet equal to the chosen radius. It can even extinguish or ignite its flame on command. The lantern has the Chemical Reservoir modification, except this reservoir is treated to hold only lantern oil. Once lit, the lantern can burn for 6 hours on a flask (1 pint) of oil. The lantern can also lob small tongues of fire short distances to discourage hungry predators or start campfires.
