    The flame will change from sorta pointed (flame shaped) to a shorter, flatter profile. Here's an example of that behavior with a high voltage AC source. You don't have to have a visible arc for the flame to be deformed, and this will work with HV DC, also.


    For topical application, only. Not to be taken internally or used in com-
    bination with other drugs or alcohol, except as directed by your shaman.
    Do not operate heavy equipment, unless you actually know how to.
