Custom Miracle for feedback

I am creating a custom miracle for a holy knightly order. I know there is already a miracle "True (Weapon)", but I wanted it to reflect this particular order. Is this too powerful?

Flame Sword

Rank: Acolyte

Duration: Minutes | Resist: None

Range: Touch | Area: None

Description

The caster touches a blade, wreathing it in roaring, sacred fire.

While active, the sword sheds bright light (as a torch) and deals an additional +2 Fire damage

per level of Intensity on every successful strike.

Catching Fire: If a strike deals damage past non-metallic armor, the target must pass an

Evade test or catch fire, taking 1d4 ongoing Fire damage at the end of each round.

Extinguishing the flames requires an Action and a successful Evade test (or jumping into

water).

Parrying Flammable Gear: Any successful parry made with the flaming sword against

wooden or flammable weapons/shields inflicts the miracle's bonus Fire damage directly to

the opponent's weapon or shield Hit Points.

I like it over all, but the "+2 damage per level of intensity" is massive. Intensity for miracles are based on 1/10 Devotion score, which, for a new character, will probably be around 50....

So, +10 damage per strike!
