Doom: Spinning fire threads

[Sir Robilar]

With our recently started campaign, we're currently playing Doom of the Savage Kings. Great module, love it!
One of the players, a wizard, has picked up on the Mad Widow Ymae's "fire spinning" and wants to learn doing it. In the module, it says:

"The Widow sits with a spindle and distaff, spinning flames from the fire into golden threads."

As I am endorsing DCC's philosophy of "you can learn anything if you find the right teacher" I think it would be hilarious if Ymae would actually teach the character how to spin flames into threads of fire. But I'm a little lost on the specifics of how this power could actually be used. Still, I'd like to reward such thinking by the players. Soooo... any ideas or inspirations?
