Casting Time:  1 round per torch
Area of Effect:  One torch touched per 2 levels
Saving Throw:  None

This spell lights one or more ordinary torches. The flames will, however, be cold and dark, shedding no ordinary light. The wielder of the torch will however be able to see by the torch, as if it was an ordinary torch, as long as he has it in his hand. Only one person can benefit from the torch at a given time: if two or more persons touch it, no-one will benefit. The wielder must hold it in his bare hand if he wants to see by it, and the flames will seem warm to him. The torch can be put aside or handed over, as an ordinary torch would be, but cannot set fire to anything. It can be extinguished by any normal means, for example water or very strong winds. The torch will slowly smoulder and burn out, as an ordinary torch would.
The material components are the torches to be lit, and a small portion of oil with rare herbs, which the torches are rubbed with (3 gp worth of herbs per torch). In addition, the wizard must have access to a source of fire.
