People for centuries have been drawn by the strength and power of fire. Many consider fire to be a god and use it to accompany spiritual or religious rituals. Man, in the earlier days, danced around the burning flame to summon the spiritual and other holy elements. But, with the discovery of candles, they replaced the fire in the rituals and it began to play a central part in harnessing the spirits and power towards it.

People have been burning the candles while casting the spells or performing magic.
