It turns out that the old flame weapon bug is infact a bug. I was refering to darkfire which you cannot get before 5. The problem wseems to be that if your not level 4 the spell does nothing. So instead of just dealing 1d2 fire damage its dealing nothing until you reach level 4 and recieve 1d2+1. Definatly an issue and I do apoligise for dismissing it the first time.

Flame Weapon should now provide some sort of bonus for casters below level four, as of v645. Please respond here to indicate whether or not this resolves the issue.

Hello? >_>

Hullo? <_<
