radiosity comes to mind.
For the candle (wax) you could use a gradient y texture map going from regular
wax to illuminated shinier wax at top.
Might be possible to use a semi-clear object around the camera which acts as a
sort of filtered lens to create both a candle flame flare and other changes to
the rest of the scene.
