A flame, equivalent in brightness to a torch, springs forth from an object that you touch. The effect looks like a regular flame, but it creates no heat and doesn't use oxygen. A continual flame can be covered or hidden but not smothered or quenched.

A gentle touch from your fingertip ignites the object in mystical flames. The warmthless blaze dances, casting enchanting shadows, a mesmerizing spectacle of radiant light.

I Cast Continual Flame
A dash of ruby dust applied to an object births an everlasting flame. It crackles in the gem's hue, transitioning to a cool yellow at its zenith, emitting no scent or warmth. A perpetual torch, immune to mundane snuffing, only yielding to magical counterforce or the cessation of my existence.
