Friction Matches

Friction matches are a new piece of technology developed in The Sidonian Republic. They take the form of small pieces of wood, with a single red arcane glyph on the top. When struck against something with enough friction, a miniature version of a "Create Bonfire" spell will be cast by the match (on itself), setting it alight, to be used in starting a real fire. Their relatively cheap price, reliability, and compact size make them invaluable tools 
Because they are powered using magic, they will not work when inside an anti-magic field.
