Torch

torch is a melee weapon in item asylum. It is a simplistic, burning torch.
==Functionality==
While held, torch will passively illuminate the area around it. When used, the player will swing the torch in front of them. Those in range will be dealt 25.5 damage and ignited for about 6 seconds.
torch has the unique ability to ward off shriekers, should its user be targeted by one.
==Tips==
* torch is able to kill an opponent with just two hits; however, this will require the user to wait out the duration of its burn before hitting them again.
* If warding off shriekers, constantly face them, as shriekers can still hit from behind.
==Trivia== 
*torch's gimmick of repelling shriekers is a reference to how, in their base game, Rogue Lineage, shriekers will stay away from lit torches.
*Its tool-tip references the Future Is Bright Roblox lighting system update that released on November 24th, 2020.
