Torches are items that are equipped in the "Torch" slot, that the player can pick up to increase light radius, which is 2 tiles long by default.
The light that torches emit also passes through walls, allowing you to see the enemy early and find hidden rooms easier.
The player can only equip one torch at a time; picking up a new torch drops their current one.
Note that enemies are easier alerted the bigger your light radius is.
