Sword + 1, Flame Tongue, +2 vs. regenerating creatures, + 3 vs. cold-using,
inflammable, or avian creatures, +4 vs. undead, sheds light only
when its possessor speaks a command word or phrase, and this flame illuminates
the AREA as brightly as a torch.

Note that the flame from this
sword easily ignites oil, burns webs, or sets fire to paper, parchment, dry
wood, etc. Cold-using creatures are those whose attack mode involves
cold (ice toads, white dragons, winter wolves, yeti, etc.)


Q. Can a priest use a flaming sword, 
where the burning causes damage? 
A. No.  If playing by the strict letter of the 
roolz, priests cannot use edged 
weapons, no matter what the other 
effects of the weapon; just because it 
is flaming, the edge is not blunted.  It 
is also worth mentioning that the 
Pelinore material has differentiated 
between religions by allowing some 
priests to carry swords and other 
weapons out of the ordinary.
