The lantern malak is the first state of those souls that were sufficiently good as to become petitioners in the upper realms. Sometimes called lantern angels, these creatures appear as floating balls of light, although those that look closely enough can sometimes make out the vestiges – or beginnings – of a face. Though all lantern malakim glow, there are subtle variations in the level of brightness each one exhibits, as well as what hue is taken on – this notwithstanding, the color is never too far from being able to be described as white.

It is the role of the lantern malakim to bear messages of faith, hope, peace and joy on behalf of the powers of good. These messages are usually for simple, good-hearted people, rather than earthshaking declarations to entire nations.

Spell-like Abilities: At will – aid, detect evil, continual flame, message. Caster level 3rd.
