Hah!
OK, so I think that to summarize:
- there's no need for players to record the first torch they take on
their action chart.
- for gameplay reasons though, they do need to take the Tinderbox and
record that as a Backpack Item (because on some routes, you put out your
Torch when you take a nap in the mines, then relight it). However if they
have a Kalte firesphere, they don't need to take the Tinderbox.
- any extra Torches are backpack items.
So, I'd suggest a footnote along the lines of "Unless you possess a Kate
Firesphere, the it is assumed you take the Tinderbox here. Record it on
your Action Chart as a Backpack Item."

Ah! You remember rightly:
doesn't really matter if it's recorded on your Action Chart in any case!
It just seems a lot of faffing about moving items from "Special" (in the
hand) to "Backpack" (when doused) and then back to "Special" again (when
relit). Easier just to use the lit Torch as a 0-space item (like the
Ragadorn Coach Ticket) and assume it has burned down by the time you
exit the mines--no need for any bookkeeping.

But it was changed because of you cheaters! The rest of us would
sensibly carry around 14 or 15 Special Items, but you people just had to
push too far and they changed the rules. It's all your fault! :-p
