Timely Wick

1-point transmutation (chronomancy), ritual
Casting time:	action
Range:	touch
Components:	S, M (a candle or lantern)
Duration:	Up to 24 hours

A candle or lantern you touch is lit and burns for precisely the duration. The duration can be any amount of time up to 24 hours as chosen by you when you cast this spell. Wind or a lack of air won't cause the target's flame to extinguish, even underwater, but the flame won't spread to places a normal flame could not.
 When you cast this spell, you can choose for the target to emit a single loud chime when the spell ends—and the chime will sound even if this spell ends early.
 If the target is a candle, you can also precisely mark different lengths of the candle with perfect accuracy, with each mark representing a different amount of passed time, such as once every hour.  You can also choose for the candle to emit the chime each time it passes one of these marks.
 Upcast. You can upcast this spell by expending extra spell points when you cast it. For each extra point, you can target an additional five candles or lanterns you touch, all of which last for the same duration.
