Roaming Lanterns

In Costa and many of the other larger cities in Kelarpian, during the night, they send out what is known as Roaming Lanters. These are lanterns with flames that are directed in certain directions. They are enchanted to be able to detect movement, intention, and magical abilities. When they sense danger, their flames turn a different color alerting the nearby guards to the level of danger. They also communicate with other lanterns in a hive mind fashion so that other lanterns can alert other guards to help assist with any situations. The colors of flames and their danger levels are as follows: 

• White: No danger
• Yellow: Mild danger (usually used for small crimes and petty theft)
• Red: Increasing danger (Highly trained, armed people, high level magicians, large groups of people)
• Blue: City leveling danger (Reserved for powerful monsters, and people wanting to destroy everything)

The lanterns can also attack if no one comes to help, but they do so as a last resort. The attack is a ranged attack called flame shot that does fire damage, and can restrain the target with a magical binding fire.
