Master completes Azal’s summoning ritual

The black candles, already lit at the start of the ritual, cast flickering shadows across the Church Cavern, blending with the incense and cauldron smoke to create an atmosphere thick with occult energy. Their flames provide the visual and symbolic anchor for the ritual, marking the space as one of dark invocation. The candles' presence reinforces the coven's collective focus and the Master's authority, their unnatural glow contributing to the ritual's escalating tension.

Before: Lit and casting flickering shadows across the cavern, contributing to the ritual's eerie atmosphere.

After: Continuing to burn, their flames now intensified by the ritual's energy, casting even more pronounced shadows as the invocation reaches its peak.
