Fire! My Sword is on Fire!
Oh, whattaheck. Very minor and probably only annoys / affects me.
I am not sure why my character’s sword never showed a visual effect from Darkfire on Avlis and never showed one on Ysgard, but did show one on Arkaz. Whatever the reason though with the Arkaz code having been implemented on Ysgard the visual effect is now showing up.

This tends to occur if you portal from Arkaz while the effect is still active.
Try re-casting darkfire on the weapon for now and then resting. The other option is to portal back to Arkaz which also sometimes clears it.
It's not actually anything to do with the Arkaz god code if that's the one you were refering to.

After a conversation I realised I might have been more unclear than I had thought.
On Avlis my character’s sword (which is not Bioware standard appearance, uses CEP parts) never showed a visual effect from Darkfire. Other people’s weapons did show a visual effect though when my character cast Darkfire on them.
On Hala before the change my sword did not show a visual effect, but again the same prayer of Darkfire did show a visual effect on other people’s weapons. Dan’eth had the same experience as her sword did not show a visual effect from Flame Weapon but that spell cast on other people did cause a visual effect.
When Dan’eth and Jay travelled to Arkaz though to aid Rune they both found that their swords were showing the visual effect (flames or whatever the spell had been energy-substituted to). This was a surprise, and especially to me as Jay has had that sword so long (*) and if it had shown flames on his only previous visit to Arkaz I had forgotten.
(* = sub-teen levels when he got the Feysteel Bastard Sword, maybe in the early teens when it was enhanced into Glory Breaker as the end reward of his Newbie Quest…)
With the introduction of the code from Arkaz to Hala-Ysgard the visual effect from Darkfire showed up on Jay’s sword and the visual effect from Flame Weapon showed up on Dan’eth’s when they cast those. I don’t know what Arkaz were doing differently from Avlis or Hala-Ysgard that the effect had been showing up but whatever it was it seems to have come along with the rest of the code.
Sorry again for any confusion as to what I meant.

As far as I can remember, both with Rykolyn and Xai, (Arcane,) Flame Weapon applied a visual to most weapons.

Ok...
On Arkaz, the Flame weapon spell has always showed the visual (at least for as long as I've been playing over there). On Hala/Ysgard, it never did... until today.
I was playing my Arkaz native character and brought over a group from there to go shopping on Ysgard and Hala. The effect showed up when the spell was cast and disappeared when the spell ran out (as it normally does). I wouldn't worry about getting rid of the effect unless there is a specific reason we shouldn't see the effect.
