I'm imagining pilot flames in the middle of where the candle base would be and the tubing making up the body acting as the accumulator with electronic valves at each candle stick to release large bursts.

sounds cool -

if you use copper tubing you can form it into hatever shape you need, soldering whatever connections as needed to the ends. copper can also be stained to look like old brass, black as coal, aged to look like its 200 years old etc.
