I was just thinking, that if you used a weapon that had a Fire rune, if it were a cutting weapon, wouldn't that cauterize the wound and keep it from bleeding?

It's magical fire, it can do what it wants.

Kind of like the magical fire that has trees on fire, but after the fires are put out, it doesn't look burnt at all? Ooooooooooooooooooooor, the magical fire that is a big column and called, the "Vortex"?

I wonder if people get fire damage stepping through the Eternal flame. THAT'd confuse the novices.
