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.
Hitting a creature with a flaming ray deals Heat damage and forces a Temperature change of 310 + 25 * (Mutation Level). If the user hits a target with a melee attack instead, they will change the target's temperature by (2 * Mutation level)d8 degrees. This attack does not need to penetrate, and does not need to be made by the limb Flaming Ray is located on.
Flaming Ray allows creatures to wear equipment in it's designated limb's slot and will continue to function even if that limb is covered. Losing the limb Flaming Ray is 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.
