This focused spell requires a normal sword of any type. The mage casts the spell, and the blade erupts in magical flame. The spell enhances the sword’s damage value. Compare the Effect Value of the spell to the maximum damage value of the sword. The Result Points are added to the max. damage value of the sword. Take the same Result Points, Power Push them, and add the result to the sword’s damage adds. The mage (or whoever wields the sword) must still make a successful melee weapons attack to hit. The flaming sword is an illusion, and may be disbelieved with a Mind or willpower total of 10. The Effect Value of the flame is controlled, so that the mage control its damage. If the effect is lowered to 0, the flames go away (but the effect can be increased later.)
