M - The fire is made up of particles so it would follow the emitter wherever it goes but I don't think it would follow the sword that well at all. I think I would have to put in some sort of collision or another effect to the particles to get it to follow the blade.

I havent touched this piece in a while but what the hell! I'll extend the fire and fatten the handle up as soon as I get done with the other four school related projects I have to do. Might be sometime next week but I'll get it up.
