ya, i though it was a candle too xD but that can be fixed just by making the edge longer. The animations is really well done, congratulations :). (sry for my english)
I thought it was a candle too. If you had that fire effect covering the whole sword it would be a lot cooler.
Oh, I forgot to add: If possible, slow down the animation of the flames a little. :)
Thanks much :D and it's a rapier, so i didnt want to make the blade too long. But Hmm..
