Doctor uncovers Viking runes in crypt

The brass-framed lantern with its flickering flame becomes the sole light source in the crypt, casting jagged shadows across the runestones and allowing Judson to document their grooves while the Doctor traces their significance, its unstable light both illuminating ancient texts and subtly reflecting the deepening unease.

Before: Positioned on a nearby surface or held by Nurse Crane, providing focused but dim illumination for Judson’s work.
After: Continues to burn steadily but its limited range and ebbing oil begin to obscure peripheral details, contributing to the building sense of hidden threat.
