Wouldn't work. It would be nice to be able to define how a ranged weapon is replaced when Flaming Arrows is cast, though.

Ranged weapons currently only have one ammo sprite. To change normal arrows into flaming arrows, the weapon has to change.

TIn addition, there are too many exceptions to make Flaming Arrows work with all ranged weapons. Just in vanilla:

Mind Burn.
Frost Breath (and all other Breaths)
Gaze of Death (and all other Gazes)
Fire Bola and other ranged weapons that already are on fire.
Thrown Sutra, the thrown piece of paper some Jomon or Tien Chi mages have that deals damage to undead.
