			\|systems=Yes
			\|description=Sets a flammable object or substance on fire, usually with flint and a metal striker or with another burning object.
			\|messaging='''LIGHT ''<object>'' WITH ''<flint>'''''<br />
			''You see'': You strike ''<flint>'' against ''<metal object>'', causing a shower of sparks over ''<object>'' which smolders, then bursts into flames.<br />
			''Others see'': <Name> strikes ''<flint>'' against ''<metal object>'', causing a shower of sparks over ''<object>'' which smolders, then bursts into flames.<br />

			'''LIGHT ''<object>'' WITH ''<burning object>'''''<br />
	==With Flint==
			''You see'': You light ''<object>'' with ''<burning object>''.<br />
	To light an object, have the [[:Category:Flints\|flint]] in an open container, hold the object in one hand, and something metal in the other. Then {{tt\|LIGHT}} ''<object>'' {{tt\|WITH FLINT}}.
			''Others see'': <Name> lights ''<object>'' with ''<burning object>''.<br />

			'''LIGHT ''<match>'''''<br />
⚫	~~==With~~ Lighter==
			''You see'': You strike ''<match>'' against something rough and it flares to life.<br />
	An object can be lit simply by {{com\|point}}ing the [[:Category:Lighters\|lighter]] at the object.

			}}
			{{RTOC}}==Syntax==
			*{{tt\|LIGHT}} ''<object>'' {{tt\|WITH}} ''<flint or similar item>''
			: Attempts to light the object with the named item.
			*{{tt\|LIGHT}} ''<match>''
			: Strikes a held match against something rough.
			*{{tt\|LIGHT HELP}}
			: Displays the command's in-game help.

			==Game Helpfile==
			<pre>
			Verb information for verb "light":
			Syntax: LIGHT <object> WITH <flint, or similar>
			You try to light <object> on fire. Used with pipes, charcoal, torches, etc.
			Usually requires flint in one hand and a tinderbox or steel weapon in the other.
			</pre>

			==Notes==
			* When using flint, hold the flint in one hand and a metal object in the other. The flammable object may be on the ground or at your feet. Some objects can be lit inside an open container, but others refuse to light inside a container because it might catch fire.
			* Some attempts to produce sparks may fail without lighting the object. Trying again can succeed.
			* An object cannot normally be lit while it is worn or inside a closed container.
			* Oil lamps and lanterns are lit by targeting their [[Fuel oil\|oil]], such as {{tt\|LIGHT OIL IN LANTERN WITH FLINT}}.
			* A [[Lighter\|lighter]] uses {{com\|point}} rather than {{tt\|LIGHT}}: {{tt\|POINT LIGHTER AT <object>}}.
