Could it be possible to manipulate light or without direct contact with the light source?
For example, with some future technology, could the light of a candle be captured and manipulated, made brighter for example, without changing the nature of the candle?
Switching the wax for sulfur would yield brighter light and a faster burn, but I mean manipulating the light itself once it has emitted from the flame. Making it expend its own energy faster, turning a glow into a flash and then darkness, something like that. I'm not sure what light even is, and I don't think I'm alone in that.
There already exist materials to trap light. I imagine something more sophisticated could be made where you store the light output of a candle over time and release it all at once creating a flash.
I feel like this thread belongs in the 1700's

I am an epistolary lightning lithograph correspondent like any other, and I am most certainly of the present age.
If you are indeed also of the present age, perhaps you could prove this by posting maritime charts to new lands rich in gold and spices.
