Shadow Lantern is a unique type of Moonlantern which does not produce light and grants the unique Conjure Shadow Lantern Wraith spell.
Encased in a cocoon of shadow within the lantern, the mangled pixie lies like some deformed pupa, its mouth slack, and those same shadows crawling over its graying tongue.

Special
The holder of this item gains:
Conjure Shadow Lantern Wraith (
)- Cast as a level 6 spell (
Recharge: Long rest.)
Where to find
- Moonrise Towers X: -150 Y: -165: Obtainable from Balthazar's hidden room, only if Gale is in the party
Notes
- The party must interact with the top right Protruding Book ('Musty Tomes') and insert one human heart into the small Ancient Altar. Then it is necessary to let Gale interact with the ritual circle and combine a Dead Pixie with a Broken Moonlantern.
- Gale has exclusive dialogue about Mystra and shadow magic before and after creating the lantern.
- Any other character can try to craft the lantern, but must first overcome Gale's protests and a
DC 30 Arcana check. - Unequipping the lantern after summoning the Shadow will dismiss the Shadow.
- The spell from this item is not granted when equipped in the torch slot, it must be equipped as a weapon.
- Allowing Gale to destroy the ritual instead grants him Mystra's Benevolence (
Advantage on Concentration checks until the next Long Rest). If the player destroys the circle, no benefit is granted. - Despite being tagged as a Rare item, the ingame tooltip for the Shadow Lantern is coloured as a Story Item, like other Moonlanterns.
- As the flavour text suggests, unlike other Moonlanterns, the Shadow Lantern does not emit a bright sphere of light.
- Since this special lantern doesn't emit light, it provides no protection from the Shadow Curse.
