Dorm Area Level 1 Puzzle
I am extremely confused and there is one candle I can't light up no matter what. It is driving me insane. From my understanding, Sleeping Beauty's Arrow's range is 7 Tiles. However, I have tried the following methods:

and yes, the candle I'm using is already on fire:

And the blasted candle won't light up. It's the only one that refuses to do so. Please help

Nevermind, I figured it out. It's irritating that this is how it's solved but whatever.

But isn't that the point of solving the puzzle? lol

It's a conflicting thought in ""logic.""" Why is this one candle the only one that can burn the roses when the same candle I was using was also capable on sending things on fire. It's not like the particle effects really change between these two aside from if you shoot through the right pillar and see it burning up in flames.

You just can use the candle which was still on fire in the first place. Sleeping Beauty's arrow cross 7 tiles, but when it crosses anything changing it, it resets, so it will cross another 7 tiles. You need to play with it to reach the arrow's destination with the fire and the pillars changing directions.

I got hung up briefly on this one, but I noticed that the target candles have a visually different 'box' to them. They're diamonds rather than squares, so whenever you try to fire an arrow through them it gets blocked by the bars of the diamond, and never goes anywhere. This was consistent with the visual of the rose arrows not leaving the target candle box.

Once you realize only the one "source" candle allows arrows to through it, the rest of the puzzle follows easily enough.
