Ultra-high IQ Starting Wizards and Mortality

The Flaming Weapon enchantment is entirely reliable, and the missile weapon version of it has a base cost of $20,000, so I don't think this is intended to let 3-Hex Fire make it nearly obsolete.

So what do you think the unreliable flaming arrow it mentions would be? I think it means compared to mundane flaming arrows, i.e. when you put something flammable on an arrow, which makes it not fly so well, and not tend to set fire to things so well because it tends to fall apart on impact or the flaming thing goes out or fails to apply enough heat to set anything else on fire. Those sorts of arrows are designed to set things like wooden fortresses on fire, not as a way to munchkin up your damage in combat.

And again, it also says a Brand goes out when immersed, and being in a wet (due to flesh and blood) body would, it seems to me, immerse it.
