<nowiki>Flaming Ray is a physical mutation that grants the ghostly flames
When activated, the ghostly flames will emit a straight line of fire that deals Heat damage as well as increase Temperature. The default bonus damage is the number of "Hands" slots (not left/right hand) that that mutant has. This means by default it will be +1, but those with Multiple Arms will have the bonus damage be +2.[1] The temperature increase each level is 310 + 25 * Level. If a creature with Flaming Hands hits something with a melee weapon, the target's temperature will also increase by 100°. This mutation does not affect phased creatures, including their temperature.

acid or 
black ooze to avoid stepping on them.
Disadvantages
