ah, excellent. I finally have a satisfactory answer to my quesiton:

1

From looking at the Creation kit, the fire spells have 3 attributes that determine afterburn damage. Taper Duration: How long the damage lasts. Taper Weight: Multiplier of initial damage. Taper Curve: This one I'm not sure of, but it's 2.0 for all of the fire spells. From playing around with it,...

Toward the tail end of the Aria: Blue Suns mission, you're given the choice of either hunting down some rare artifacts or ordering a hit on General Oraka.

So I'll be starting (over).

I have to go to bed, though.

Work in the morning and such.
