Thaumaturge Implement: Lantern

Lantern implements shine the light of revelation to part shadows and expose truth. You might use a common glass lantern, torch, paper lantern, or other similar light source.

While you hold your lantern, its burning light leaves secrets no place to hide. You can light or extinguish your lantern with nothing but a thought, as a free action that has the concentrate trait. While lit, the lantern emits an aura of light in a 20-foot emanation; the aura has the light and magical traits. Everything in the aura is magically lit with bright light regardless of cover, and dim light extends beyond the aura an additional distance equal to the size of the aura. The aura's counteract rank against magical darkness is equal to half your level rounded up.

The lantern's aura attempts to reveal the unseen. You and your allies in the lantern's aura gain a +1 status bonus to visual Perception checks to notice anything that is also within the aura and a +1 status bonus to checks to Recall Knowledge against creatures within the aura, as the light exposes their true natures.
