It's not really a variant magic item.
Continual flame is a permanent spell that can be cast on any object.
It could just as easily be cast on a headband,necklace whatever. The ioun stone is just a dead ioun stone a standard item. No variant magic item here. Just a needs a caster with the heighten spell feat to cast continual flame(a common spell). No crafting involved.
A heightened Continual flame could actually be cast on any ioun stone without going through the crafting process.
Having a item(doesn't have to be an ioun stone) with continual flame heightened to 4th is just a smart tactic useful in countering darkness.
If a dead ioun stone was never available I would just find a caster with heighten spell and have It cast on a nice headband circlet whatever. No custom item crafting necessary.
This is a case where I would have to agree with Lars. If you or one of your party can create the item then do so.

Aggy can cast the spell Continual FLame 3rd. And therefore is capable of casting it upon an item. This is not crafting. It is just casting the spell.

Ok....I can't have ioun stones with heightened continual flame right now. Can I have them with a normal Continual Flame cast by a Cleric such as Aggy who would cast it as a 3rd level spell? Aggy does have 3rd level spells and would have had time to cast it while Lom was crafting our magic items in town.
He cannot create the burnt out ioun stone. So if that is not available I would have had him cast Continual Flame 3rd on a circlet/headband/crown/etc
"Light spells counter and dispel darkness spells of an equal or lower level."
As a 3rd level spell when cast by a Cleric(Aggy) NOT a 2nd level spell, these ioun stones with Continual Flame would be effective in countering Deeper Darkness 3rd if that is what we are up against.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it ;)
Happy thanksgiving everyone
I actually got Thanksgiving off this year and Black Friday and then an unexpected OT shift on Saturday to pay for Black Friday, so it was a pretty good weekend all the way around.

Good thing you're a tough strong.... and I was gonna say good looking dwarf but I checked your cha and you're really not ;)
Who's on first?
Now I'm just a weak, bad looking dwarf.
Or we can say I am good looking, but my attitude sucks? :D
Myrick is up again.
Death in the family guys. Give me a little time please.
My condolences...... take ALL the time you need. RL comes first
I am very sorry to hear about your loss brvheart. Take whatever time is needed man.
I wish you peace brother.
Just wanted you to know I am thinking of you brvheart.
Let's get started again all.
Thanks Myrick
Good to have you back brvheart.
Please look at Soreks last post in gameplay. Re coins and exploring South down the hallway
I'm on a ski trip this week. I assume the place I'm staying has internet though this is not something I know for certain. Given the nature of the trip (lots of skiing) my posting may be a bit slower than normal. Just a fair warning. I'll be there late this afternoon and know about the internet situation then.
Hey everyone - just dropping a line to say I am leaving the game.
Don't want to be that guy, but there are just too many radio silence moments in the game - enough that I don't really feel the flow of it.
In any case, not all games are the same - I am just not being able to commit with so many hiatus.
Good luck with the game, and hope to see you guys around the boards on other occasions.
Cheers and game on!
Sorry Aggy and guys. My life is kind of a bowl of crap right now.
We need at least one more to move on.
I can ask a buddy if he wants in. He likes playing healers.
brvheart, how are you feeling about continuing? Is this something you want to keep doing?
I am good to continue right now.
Brvheart, let’s keep moving then.
Down two people?
I'm asking my buddy.
Thanks Lars:)
Sorek is still here right?
yup....still here
Welcome Father Stom
Hello Storm, ready to kick booty!?
Welcome sir!
Welcome to the game, Father!
You will need to at least dot gameplay so I can add you to Roll20. They are only on level 2 of the dungeon so it is still carved hallways. You can be the sole survivor on another group.
I'll be on vacation starting this evening until next Sunday (22nd). As I won't have a laptop (and thus Herolab), I'll not really be likely to post much. Bot me as needed.
New maps are coming in. I will have them up in the next few days.
Sounds good
The new map is up for level 2
