Answers.Text: That flame shaft looks like it could work.  Could I combine one of those with a signal paddle (part #3900) somehow, perhaps with an appolo stud (part #85861). Then attach the paddle to a stoplight to allow for some arbitrary rotation.  Would that work?

  Burning oil is the easier of the two, since the [basic flame elements](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6126&name=Wave%20Rounded%20with%20Base%20Pins%20(Castle%20Dragon%20Flame,%20Seaweed,%20Water)&category=%5BEnergy%20Effect%5D#T=S&O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D)

  can connect into a realistically looking stream of liquid fire:

  Depicting individual arrows is a lot harder due to the absence of a single arrow piece (aside from the proportionally way oversized [harpoon piece](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=18041&name=Minifigure,%20Weapon%20Harpoon,%20Smooth%20Shaft&category=%5BMinifigure,%20Weapon%5D#T=S&O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D)), and adding a flame piece is even harder. Your best bet would probably be adding a [flame piece](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=37775&name=Candle%20Flame&category=%5BEnergy%20Effect%5D#T=S&C=98&O=%7B%22color%22:98,%22iconly%22:0%7D), [any of the](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=88964&name=Large%20Figure%20Barb,%20Flame%20(Ben%2010)&category=%5BLarge%20Figure%20Part%5D#T=S&O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D) several [sizes available](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=64647&name=Minifigure,%20Plume%20Feather%20Triple%20Compact%20/%20Flame%20/%20Water&category=%5BMinifigure,%20Headgear%20Accessory%5D#T=S&O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D) to a shield:
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/vn8jE.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/vn8jE.jpg)
  
  Or use a [flame piece with a shaft](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=16768pb001&name=Bar%20%20%204L%20with%20Flame%20Protusions%20and%20Marbled%20Trans-Yellow%20Pattern&category=%5BBar%5D#T=S&C=17&O=%7B%22color%22:17,%22iconly%22:0%7D) as a combined arrow and flame:
