The rule for antiseize or oil of any kind on a fastener is its OK to put it on the threads but not under the head. The head is where most of the friction occurs upon tightening. As long as you keep it off of the head area then it shouldn't affect the torque too much. There might be a spec somewhere. I would not reduce much on a spark plug. The consequences of it loosening are too serious.
