About this craft

No blueprint carries this name. The skull is a skin of the torch, a default craft everyone has: you make a torch and, if the skin is yours, pick the skull. The bill stays wood, a cloth and one low grade fuel, and so do the craft time and durability.

Spare skull torches still pile up in a box, and the recycler looks like the way out. It isn't much of one. Each returns a share of its wood and only a coin flip on the cloth and the low grade fuel, close to nothing you could not pick up off the ground.

So burn the spares where a plain torch would go anyway: in your hand on a night run, until they wear out.
