Still, I think the fact that you can create this item WITHOUT the Craft Wonderous Item feat means that it ain't a wonderous item.![]()
In that case, wouldn't it be odd that it should be listed in the "Wondrous Item" section of the DMG, with no statement to the effect that it is not really like every other item listed there?
Maybe you would say that it is only there for convenience, so that when the DM rolls for random treasure, the torch might be included. But if that were the case, then why don't Holy Water and Alchemist's fire appear there as well? They could be considered magical, in a sense. But the DMG makes a distinction between the Everburning Torch and those other items, by including some and not including others in the Wondrous Item section, in order to indicate that these are magical items and others are not.
