In Lord of the Rings, did the Witch-King's sword actually emit flames?
During the siege of Minas Tirith, when the gate was broken down by Grond, Gandalf waited there and the Witch-King rode up to enter.
The Black Rider flung back his hood, and behold! he had a kingly crown; and yet upon no head visible was it set. The red fires shone between it and the mantled shoulders vast and dark. From a mouth unseen there came a deadly laughter. ‘Old fool!’ he said. ‘Old fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!’ And with that he lifted high his sword and flames ran down the blade.
Did the Witch-King's sword actually emit flames, or was "and flames ran down the blade" a poetic metaphor for its mirror like surface reflecting the fires inside and outside Minas Tirith? I believe that the Balrog's sword in Moria actually did emit flames, unless that was another poetic metaphor, but a Balrog was an Ainur, a spirit with great control over matter, and not a mortal sorceror.

What I want to know is why it brandished a sword against Gandalf, but then smote Éowyn with a mace. It carries multiple weapons? What's wrong with the sword?

4. Josh - 1 star - "Mikey dsy david blaine xtreet magic" was a disappointment from start to finish. The magician's delivery was flat and uninspiring, and the tricks themselves were far from mind-blowing.
