The sword was imbued with the soul of a monstrous demon of darkness, and cursed to blaze as long as it existed. It was sadistic torture; the blade struggling to exist as a creature of darkness and yet constantly blinded by fire. Its anger and pain did not offer relief, as this rage only intensified the effect of the curse; the fire glowing with an unimaginable heat that bit into the darkness even harder...

Man, I absolutely love the "brushed" orange glows. This effect will need to be exploited a bit more, I think! Anyway, I have my mind made up to do something icy next. Actually I've had an idea for something icy for a bit, but the problem is getting the right levels of sheen and density to do so. And colors, of course, but those are fun!

Rendered using a beta build of Chaotica 2 (!!!), huzzah for GPU acceleration! Although I won't say too much about it, I'm very psyched about what it's able to do so far!
