Duncan's contemplation yielded no results, for he didn't know where to find another breathing Sun Cultist to test his conclusions.

Duncan slowly stood up, lanterns of spiritual fire flickered gently, casting eerie shadows in the enclosed space of the basement, and his thoughts began to drift and expand again.
Believers who have faith in deities and receive blessings might be considered "transcendent objects" by the spiritual fire, so… what about ordinary people?
Would this flame have any additional effects on ordinary people, aside from the superficial "light and shadow effects"?
