I would never make this ruling. Your talking about a sword of fire conjured out of thin air, right? At tops, I would rule that this would mean an small improvisation modifier on his Close Combat (a sword of fire is bound to have different handling). How powerful the sword would be, on the other hand, would be based on his Fire affinity (If he can't give it more than a 3 edge, he might as well use his old bronze poker).
If he uses his Fireblade feat to make a sword burn, the edge from the feat would be in addition to the weapon rank (3+ whatever he manages to give it with the feat).
Ha en god dag!
