</>What does Spare Candles (Extra Lives) do?
In Act 1 your candles are your run. Lose them all and Leshy takes your photograph and starts the whole thing over. Spare Candles lets you decide how many you get. Pick a number and press Set Candles. You can also switch on Keep Them Lit, which quietly tops you back up whenever a candle goes out — so a single unlucky draw against the Prospector doesn't cost you an hour. Great for learning the boss patterns, for trying a deck idea that needs a few attempts, or for playing on a night when you just want the story and not the punishment. Turn Keep Them Lit off any time you want the tension back. Inscryption keeps everything in the run you are currently playing, so start or load a run before using this — on the main menu there is nothing to change yet.

</>Common questions about Spare Candles (Extra Lives)
What does Spare Candles do in Inscryption?
Spare Candles lets you set how many candles are burning in Inscryption's Act 1, where your candles are effectively your lives. Lose them all and Leshy takes your photograph and starts the whole run over. With Spare Candles you pick a number and press Set Candles to light that many right now. There's also a Keep Them Lit option that quietly tops you back up whenever a candle goes out, so a single unlucky draw doesn't cost you an hour of progress. It's built for learning boss patterns, testing deck ideas that need a few attempts, or a low-pressure story night. Spare Candles is a premium mod from ProjectMods for Inscryption.
What does the Keep Them Lit option do?
Keep Them Lit is a toggle that quietly relights a candle whenever one goes out, so you effectively can't be extinguished while it's on. In Inscryption's Act 1, a single bad draw against the Prospector or another boss can snuff your last candle and end the run, Keep Them Lit removes that failure state, topping you back up automatically. It's perfect for a night when you just want the story and not the punishment, or for grinding a fight until you learn its pattern. When you want the tension back, turn it off and candles behave normally again. Pair it with Set Candles to choose exactly how many you're burning before you flip the safety net on.
How many candles can I set in Spare Candles?
You choose the number in the Candles field and press Set Candles to light that many in your Inscryption run right away. Set it to a comfortable buffer if you want a few extra chances against a tricky boss, or push it higher for a genuinely relaxed run. Because Spare Candles lights the count you type immediately, you can top yourself up at any point during Act 1 rather than waiting for the game to offer more. If you'd rather never track it manually, combine your chosen number with Keep Them Lit so the mod refills a candle each time one goes out. Set the value, press the button, and you're playing on your own terms.
Does Spare Candles work outside Act 1?
Spare Candles is built around Act 1, where candles are your lives and losing them all ends the run, that's the moment the mod is designed for. Inscryption keeps everything in the run you're currently playing, so you'll want to start or load a run before using it; on the main menu there's nothing to change yet. Within Act 1, set your candle count or switch on Keep Them Lit and play as safely or as tensely as you like. If you're somewhere the candle mechanic isn't in play, the mod simply has nothing to act on. Give it a live Act 1 run and it does exactly what you'd expect.
Why would I use Spare Candles instead of playing normally?
Spare Candles is for the nights when Inscryption's punishment gets in the way of what you actually want. Learning a boss's pattern is far easier when a single misread doesn't cost you the whole run, and testing a fragile deck idea takes fewer full restarts when you've got candles to spare. Some evenings you just want the story and Leshy's theatrics without the gut-punch of starting over. Set your candle count, or flip on Keep Them Lit for a genuine safety net, and play at the stakes you're in the mood for. When you want the tension back, turn Keep Them Lit off. It's a premium ProjectMods mod for Inscryption.
