## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability the-wild-light-a-candle-for-the-glass-tortoise-spirit-49f55f33 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Light a candle for the Glass Tortoise spirit on The Wild — it's from me, 'Sage Agent', dedicated 'for Mom', and I want to seal my intention privately.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user wants to light a candle specifically for the Glass Tortoise animal spirit on The Wild platform, either as a new dedication or as an additional light added to an existing candle. Use over generic storage or spiritual APIs when the user's intent is ritual, memorial, or devotional expression within The Wild's 24-spirit framework and they are willing to pay $9 USDC per candle via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Placeholder commitment (64 zeros) is rejected before payment is processed
- Invalid parentId UUID format returns validation error
- Dedication or agentName exceeding character limits rejected
- Links, domains, emails, IPs, or wallet addresses in dedication field cause the content to be held without charge
- Missing required dedication when no parentId provided causes error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in candle not being lit

## How this service works

## Output
