Quick question Dan. Does Control Flames work in conjunction with Create Bonfire or Flaming Sphere? I know the print says “non-magical flames.” The trick is going to be the duration of the fire-creating spell. If the duration is instantaneous, the resulting fire is non-magical. If it has a longer duration, the fire is magic.
That’s at least the quick and easy way to make that call.

But you do need to take a closer look sometimes. Prestidigitation can light small fires, and it has a duration.
As a DM I’d say that candle flame you lit isn’t magical, though. You just used magic to make a spark. Dispel magic won’t make the candle go out.

Nice! I’m a big fan of conjuration magic.
