Second Bell Ritual Signal Lantern is a hooded ritual lantern whose layered shutters turn spirit pressure into colored bars of light. This Second Bell pattern uses smoked brass ribs, mica shutters, and a thumbwheel that clicks like an old berth clock, made for warning work, where a clear answer matters more than elegance. Second Bell does not illuminate a corridor so much as tell you what has already entered it. With Second Bell, set on a deck plate, the weighted feet bite; hung from a hook, the inner flame keeps level through ordinary thrust. Second Bell's reading costs patience: nearby drives, fresh blood, and sloppy wardwork can all tint the signal. At the listed price, buyers are paying for a warning they can read while frightened—not certainty; that is the Second Bell distinction. Ninth Sign asks 235 credits, including a fitted case and one calibration check; replacement consumables are extra, because apparently consequences have a subscription model.
