Is there a spell to extinguish a normal fire?
I'm not seeing a low level spell that does just that. Prestidigitation might work, with a range of 10ft - but I think any one holding a torch or lantern would deserve a saving throw, which pretty much invalidates prestidigitation.
There are spells like Gust of Wind and Pyrotechnics, but they are far from ideal.
Those critters that can see in normal darkness SHOULD have developed a spell to extinguish normal fires. Magical darkness (aka magical 'dimness') doesn't give darkvision creatures any advantages, as it creates "shadowy illumination" not "darkness".
You would think an orc shaman would want to extinguish a surface dweller's light source for an ambush (or a dwarf defending his home from surface incursion). Smart adventurers would then acquire Light spells and such.
Am I missing a spell in the plethora of published spells? Or do I need to make some?
