This spell enhances the striking power of a weapon. The weapon now functions a bit like a flame blade. For the duration of the spell, the weapon glows with a fiery aura and causes 1d4 points + 1 point per 2 levels of the caster damage (in addition to its normal damage), due to the searing heat it radiates. Unfortunately, it also causes 1 point of damage per round to its user (as long as he holds it), for the same reason. Undead and creatures especially vulnerable to fire take 2 additional points of damage.
If the creature is protected from fire, the damage inflicted is reduced by 4 (for a minimum of 0). The weapon can ignite combustible materials. It is not, however, considered to be a magical weapon. The spell does not function under water. Already enchanted weapons cannot be enhanced this way. The material components of the spell are a bit of coal and the caster's holy symbol.
