Well, it was published, in HoME. We shouldn't forget, the Silmarillion isn't fully canonical, not to the extent of the later HoME texts or the Lord of the Rings. Christopher Tolkien has said there are many problems with it, and even regrets publishing it as a finished narrative.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) Fair enough. If it’s canon, then go with it. Heat damage should happen if that was Arda’s structure.
