04-02-06, 04:21 PM In one of the games I DM'ed I came up with a "Greater Flaming" weapon. It, basically, upgraded the standard Flaming enhancement from a d6 to a d10. This could subsequently could be upgraded to a Flaming Burst (or, as I dub it, "Greater Flaming Burst") weapon that does d10 flaming damage (regular) along with the standard Flaming Burst properties. In total a +3 market bonus: +1 for Flaming, +1 for Greater Flaming, +1 for Flaming Burst.

Maybe this would be suitable?

04-02-06, 06:09 PM In the Epic Level books (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/magicItems/weapons.htm#acidicBlast) there are the energy Blast weapons (Firey Blast, Icy Blast, etc). They do +3d6 energy damage per hit. ON a critical hit it does either 6d6, 9d6, or 12d6(depending on the critical modifier).

OF course, it's a +6 bonus, so it's Epic level equipment only, but that's the only official enhancment that I know if that's more powerful than the existing energised weapons.
