White Candle
Flavor text	"Astral travel"

White Candle is a trinket added in The Burned Out Update.

Effects

• Causes the effects of the File:White Fire Place.png White Fire Place while held, turning Isaac into a ghost which has the benefits and weaknesses of The Lost:
  • The ghost has flight and shoots spectral tears.
  • Any damage the ghost takes while in this state will cause Isaac to die. However, the ghost will also have the Holy Mantle effect, which negates 1 instance of damage per room.
  • The ghost can take 1 File:Devil Room.png Devil Room item for free, after which the other items vanish.
  • The ghost can open the entrance to File:Mausoleum.png Mausoleum / File:Gehenna.png Gehenna in Mines II / Ashpit II for free.
  • The ghost can collect health pickups and health upgrades, but these are applied to the main character once they revert to their normal form.

Notes

• Merely dropping the trinket will not immediately revert Isaac back to normal — he must clear one room while not holding the trinket and then leave that room in order to turn back to normal.

Interactions

• Trinket Multipliers: No effect.

Trivia

• During development, White Candle was initially implemented as a Cursed Trinket, before being converted into a regular trinket for being too situationally beneficial.
