Default Re: [Basic] Resist Fire vs (same caster's) Ignite Fire

I believe there's a rule to the effect that you can exclude specific items at the time of casting, such as a torch or lantern, but I can't find a reference for it. If, however, the character forgot to exclude his torch or lantern when he cast the spell, he'll have to cancel Resist Fire (see Cancelling Spells p. B237) if he wants it right now or wait for the spell to expire if he doesn't need it right now.

It's a bit of a grey area for an already lit torch or lantern when Resist Fire is cast if exclusion isn't possible. Does it go out because heat and fire no longer affect it [which would seem likeliest] or does it continue to burn without consuming the fuel [which probably has too much potential for abuse]?
