#hang on. by the logic of using candles...does this mean that pyrokinetics (who can summon different colored flames)

while we’re on the topic of doctors, why don’t non-flashers use like. a flashlight. instead of having to light a match every single time they want to change the color
also maybe i’m just autistic but how do people survive entire bubbles of light being put around their head that sounds like sensory hell
new doctor tool unlocked: led strips. just put those bad boys up and play around with the remote and boom, simultaneous party and medical care because the patient's bleeding out at the party
I can't recall off the top of my head, but have the elves invented colorful light yet? I can't remember an instance where their light fixtures weren't white/yellow--blue balefire doesn't count because that's fire and we're talking about artificial light. And i'm talking about the light cast, not the color of the fixture Do they just not have the technology for a colorful flashlight.
ALSO! How are they making the candle flames different colors...I know they probably got fancy elf materials, but in our world you gotta burn chemicals for that and I can't help thinking that maybe. That's not a good idea for medical practice. You've got a lung infection? Just let me set this lithium chloride on fire in this enclosed space and hold it right next to you so the light reaches.
You're right though, light close to the eyes does sound bad. Luckily that's only for injuries close to the head (as opposed to like, a ball of light by your foot for a broken ankle), but I'd have to close my eyes. if Elwin can see internal mechanisms through my skin, he can work through my eyelids.
