Candle Archon

Candle Archons are smaller, weaker versions of Lantern Archons, often serving as familiars to good-aligned spellcasters. Candle archons appear as tiny flying orbs of brilliant, heavenly light. A candle archon’s light is only extinguished when the creature dies.
Curious and Quick. Candle archons are fast and nimble. They use their speed to be the first into a room or to round a corner to see what lies ahead. They ask many polite questions of their companions, often trying to understand the motivations behind a creature’s actions (especially if that creature is a mortal). This is all done in kindness. Candle archons want to better understand new people, especially those who might be worthy of their help.
First of the Archons. All archons begin life in a lantern or candle incarnation. As such these two types of celestials are the most numerous and weakest of the archons. As shining balls of light, they can only physically manipulate their environment through sheer force of will. While a candle archon’s will is strong, it is not enough to be of great help in physical tasks. Candle archons which demonstrate a loyal zeal for accomplishing good eventually evolve into greater beings.

At any time and for any reason, the archon can end its service as a familiar, ending the telepathic bond.
