My curiosity with the flaming weapons is that I'm thinking they won't make any difference, but what happens if the target unit has fire immunity? Does that cancel out the arrow all together? It shouldn't, but this is Dominions, so who knows!

Yes I was very surprised by this as well. I was expecting any survivors to have multiple afflictions, but that theory just didn't pan out in testing. I'm really interested in running Death Bless tests on other rituals now, just to see if it's limited to 'Seeking Arrow' or not. It would certainly be another kick in the teeth for the Death Bless if in actual fact it doesn't work with rituals.

Check the test game. All mages were fully shrouded up
