The Torch Axe appears as an extremely old, battered battle axe. At the top of the 'shaft' of the axe, between the blades of the axe, there is a small receptacle filled with oil and tinder. When the oil and tinder are lit, the flames spread from the receptacle onto the blades of the axe.

It was created thousands of years ago by dwarves, who came up with the idea of a flaming weapon by watching weapons come out red-hot from the forge. As they could not always be wielding red-hot weapons, the dwarves decided that flaming would be the next best thing. So they went to the elves and asked them for help, and when the two peoples were finished with the 'Torch Axe', as they called it, they had the first ever flaming weapon.

Magical Properties:

No fancy magic words or willpower to light this flaming weapon. You have to do it the old-fashioned way. At the top of the 'shaft' of the axe, between the blades of the axe, there is a small receptacle filled with oil and tinder. When the oil and tinder are lit, the flames spread from the receptacle onto the blades of the axe.
