Dithmenos should recognize Erica as a "source of fire"

[partial]

Not sure if there's extra piety gain from killing fire-wielders, but at least the flavor text should display.

After all, her name is "Erica the Fiery-Tempered"

It's done via fire magic spell, not wielding a flaming weapon...I can see the argument for giving her an exception though...unique with guaranteed flaming weapon is different than a gnoll that happened to pick one up.

Could she be given a fire spell with a 0% weighting that prevented her from casting it? Would that be easier than changing Dith code?
Or give her the old spell that made a weapon fire branded, and a randomly branded scimitar? Let the monster version override weapon brands.

only from the perspective of the code; from the perspective of the in-game world, she's just another foo who was lucky enough to stumble upon a flaming scimitar (and then happened to get unusually attached to it)

[partial]

how about we just give her a fire spell?

BoF is probably too strong so maybe Throw Flame or Flame Tongue or BoMagma?

[jejorda2]

Inner Flame or Ring of Fire seem to fit the rage theme. Either would change at least some characters' tactics.

Flame Tongue would be more fun than Bolts/Throw.

ring of fire would be cool
