Magical Weapon: Flambeaux

Flambeaux are a category of magical weapons, typically taking the form of a shortsword whose blade blazes and illuminates like a torch when drawn. Flambeaux are treated as +1 magical weapons and can set flammable things on fire with a touch. However, once a Flamdeaux is drawn, it negates invisibility and all normal attempts at stealth used by the person bearing it.

Sheathing the sword must be done in daylight. If the sword is sheathed under other conditions, then the flames transfer to the carrier. The bearer's head seems to dance with bright tongues of harmless flame. These intangible flames can only be extinguished by soaking the bearer's head while lit with daylight, or if another individual takes and attunes with the sword.

Because of these inconveniences, some consider Flambeaux to be cursed weapons, or at least of mixed usefulness.  However, they are also somewhat easier to construct than many other traditional flaming swords.
