Dart of Branding (Magic Dart)

When thrown, darts of branding burst into blinding flame, unquenchable by water or cold, and this conflagration leaves a branded mark where the dart strikes. The marks are usually shaped by careful construction of the dart into runes or devices. The dartfire consumes the weapon and does 1d6+3 points more damage than normal darts. Creatures not resistant to fire get no save vs. the fiery damage, but dartfire is relatively feeble and does no damage if the target is protected by a resist fire, dispel magic, or more powerful protective spell. Darts of branding can pass undamaged through a wall of fire, however, and derive additional heat from the wall, doing one point of additional damage for every 1 inch (and remaining fraction) of flames they pass through. Flame strike and flame arrow spells have no effect on darts of branding.
