How it works

The Soul Light Tool is the Light Tool's pale kin. It blesses a sword, pickaxe, axe, or shovel of gold quality or better. Right-click a surface with it to plant a soul torch, with no torches needed in your pack. Each torch spends one charge.

Soul fire only burns on soul sand and soul soil, so the pattern's fire cells sit on a soul-block base.

It cannot share an item with the Light Tool, Red Light Tool, or Copper Light Tool.
