I found the "Dancing Lantern" ("Dungeonscape", p. 41) description hilarious! I can definitely see a number of uses and sources of fun for the item, but a (multi-part) question came to mind:
- How strong is the lantern? How much weight can it carry? Can a character hold or latch on to it (perhaps with a "Grasping Hook" - same book, p.42) and be flown around?
