Not really the point I was getting at. My point is that the Fire Sword is a trope that has exsisted prior to Star Wars, and I wasn't trying to say that sword was directily inspired by the Nordics Myths or Marvel counter parts, only that it was more similar to them than the technolgical/mystical lightsaber, which does have a mystic aspect to it. Another of my comparisions was Thoros of Myr, who's flaming sword is a sword coated in flmaabel wild fire, of all of them, that is actully the closest to he what the Inferno blade actully is.

My final point is this, it is possible that the lighsaber may of served as inspiration, but the fire sword is such a common element in many stories that it's simply to small of a chance for it to actully get a special mention. Even at them end day, it's still speculation, which is not really a good thing to put on any wiki, as it opens for tones of junk edits with massive amount of speculation.
