Promethean’s Blessing
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Promethean’s Blessing is a weapon upgrade which can be applied to any chain or power melee weapon. It was gifted to the armoury of Watch Fortress Erioch in a forgotten age.[1]
The device is an inverse heat sink, which uses the excess power generated by the motor of a chain blade or the charge core of a power weapon to project flame along its edge. This has little extra effect on the weapon’s damage (a few flames are only a distraction when adamantine teeth are tearing open your flesh), but does have a chance of setting the target on fire.[1]
