One draw back to this method is that it will be specfic to each model.
Another is the animation will only move with the node you put it on.
For example, using the capsule as a node for the ogre and doing two flaming hands will most likely look bad when the ogre smashes you with his hammer. (just a prediction)

EDIT: The problem presented itself in the right hand, too.

What the hell am i seeing?

is he being attacked by an electricity spell? or did you get shock and flame effects on him at once? if so, step in the right direction.

He's swinging the hammer at you.
In this particle effect, he has an electric aura all about him. I positioned the flame particle on his hand, but since it's still attached to the node "capsule" it didn't move with the hand.
