Fire stick

A fire stick was a magic stick, used to ignite anything it touched when the wielder triggered it. One was given to Rachel by the wizard Giller (with the trigger being the wielder saying "Light for me") so she could keep warm and protect herself when she was sent to spend the night outside the castle walls by Princess Violet, and ultimately when she had to escape with the last of the Boxes of Orden to keep it from Darken Rahl. Similar sticks were also sometimes given to maids in the Palace of the Prophets, so that they will have a more convenient way to light a lamp instead of messing around with candles.
