Flaming Ray is a physical mutation that grants the ghostly flames natural body equipment on the limb of your choosing, allowing you to emit a flaming ray from that limb. On character creation, the player can Customize to select between the Hands, Feet, and Face, designating which limb the ghostly flames will be located on.
Hitting a creature with a flaming ray deals Heat damage and forces a Temperature change dependent on the mutation level. Creatures with Flaming Ray will also increase their targets temperature when making melee attacks; the attack does not need to penetrate and does not need to be made by the limb ghostly flames are located on for the temperature change to occur.
Flaming Ray allows creatures to wear equipment in its designated limb's slot and will continue to function even if that limb is covered. Losing the limb the ghostly flames are located on will result in losing the mutation's abilities until the limb is restored.
If a creature somehow has multiple Flaming Rays, the damage increase is only +1 for each additional iteration.
Every melee attack also increases the target's temperature by a level based amount: this attack can be from using any physical weapon.

---|---|
Temperature Change | 310° + (25° × Level)
|
Melee Temperature Change | (Level)d8°

Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages
- Deals fairly high area damage
- Very low cooldown
- Can set enemies on fire, causing them to take more damage
- Can be used over water to create clouds of Scalding Steam which will linger and damage creatures which enter them
- Like all heat inducing abilities, can evaporate harmful liquids like acid or black ooze to avoid stepping on them
Disadvantages
- High cost at character generation
- Turns creatures to ash on death
- Defeated creatures will not drop a corpse, so they cannot be butchered
- Defeated creatures will still drop items on death
