Ah, right, because (double-checks books) x4 Burning mod for Skull. So, a flaming spear to the vitals gets its x3 for the weapon dam, but no special multiplier for the burning dam; while a flaming weapon to the skull gets x4 for the weapon and x4 for the burning.

So, going back to Dalin's question: My bad for not reading more closely. "No multipliers for follow-up flame dam" is the usual, general case, but by RAW, the flaming morningstar's follow-up burning dam does get a x4 multiplier, as a special skull effect.

Which, as Dalin suggests, would let the weapon deliver mind-blowing (heh) damage with every skull hit. Use with care!
