   The Writer's Corner on the Library Hearth page: a parchment page
   on a walnut desk, story-spark cards, a sprint candle, and a
   brainstorm board. Uses only the tokens styles.css defines.
   All motion here stops with "Still the house" or reduced motion
   (magic.css and styles.css handle that site-wide).

/* ---------- sprint candle (v21k: Erica's painted candle, alive) ----------
   A painted brass chamberstick and a painted wax column (img/candle/, about 20 KB together,
   fetched only when the candle panel is opened). The wax column is a box that shrinks from the
   top as the sprint runs, so the candle really burns down; a drawn melt pool, wick and flame
   ride its top edge. New drips are added by js/writers-corner.js as it burns.
   Size: the whole candle is 242px tall. Nothing here flickers faster than once every 2 seconds;
   all of it stops with "Still the house" or reduced motion (the flame then simply glows). */
