Sample objects - lights

Lights can be worn in any location and they can be layered. It must make IC sense for an item to be a light if its not in the normal hold or float locations. Lights are lit automatically when held by the player. The light below will last for 40 game hours before going out. When a light goes out it junks.

The light below floats around the users head. It will last 100 game hours before going out. Because it is floating, it would be considered to have some sort of magic to allow it to do so, so we suggest in most instance that it should have a magic flag.

Notes

Lights will only work in the inventory of a PC. If you wish to have a light that works in the room (ie like a torch on the wall) then use ITEM_TYPE_FIRE.
