My immediate thought when reading the title was "Flaming pinecones of gandalf" I better not be dissapointed

Looks great.

My only problems are with flaming pinecones.

First: holding a burning pinecone will hurt, but it wouldn't light you on fire, maybe a 3rd degree burn on your hand at most. It should deal 1 point of fire damage a second, piercing armor because you're the idiot holding a flaming object, and should give a burn overlay every time starting at 50% the normal opacity.

Second: sticking a burning pinecone in a chest isn't that hard, but when the inventory is closed, or 5 seconds elapses the chest should start on fire, destroying any flaming pine-cone items inside.

Other ideas:

Smither's/Pyro's Glove: Tool similar to a sling used to aid in flaming pinecones. They negate all damage gained from the pinecones, instead leaving a constant burn overlay at 5-10% opacity letting you know that, hey, there's heat, but not being an overwhelming distraction. In addition it would increase the range slightly as you no longer worry about burning your hand off.

Slingshot compatibility: pinecones, and lit variant as ammo! the lit variant would cause constant durability damage while loaded, and would deal damage to player (at lesser rate), but this would be an easy way to ramp up velocity.
