Continual flame

Continual flame was an evocation spell that created a magical flame.

Effect
The flame did not cause any damage or heat and could not be quenched or smothered as it did not need oxygen. Other than its magical nature, the flame looked normal and cast as mush light as a torch and could be covered to dim the light. The flame would remain until it was dispelled. The older version would dispel darkness.

Users
Hound archons were known to be able to create a similar effect whenever they wanted as one of their innate magical abilities.

Components
To cast the spell, the caster would need verbal and somatic components, and ruby dust worth 50 gold pieces.
