Flickering Flame of the Assessor

Before the prisoner is admitted into the interrigation room, the inquisitor lights a candle and blesses it, placing a speck of serpent powder next to the flame which begins to grow and coil around the candle as a serpent. The flame of the candle will flicker when outright lies are spoken, though there are ways to fool the serpent with half-truths and ommissions.
