Q) Arson - Does this have a burst radius? The description says that it is a
"fiery burst with a DIAMETER equal to the Syker's Spirit die type in
yards..." (our emphasis). Bursts are usually rated in terms of Radius, not
Diameter. But otherwise this sounds a lot like our old friend the burst
rules, albeit one with a radius equal to half the Syker's spirit die type. -

A) Arson does not have a burst radius, it doesn't explode, it simply causes
flame within its area of effect. It does full damage within the listed
diameter. Anyone outside this area of effect is perfectly safe [John Hopler,

Of course, you could always just keep using it the way you have been.  I
don't see where it makes THAT much of a difference one way or the next.
