Haha, that's exactly the feeling I was going for!
And yeah, I toyed around with the duration on the melting quite a bit to get something I thought was satisfying - and I had the flame sprite jiggle, the increased flame particles, and the sizzle sound to try and juice it up enough - but maybe shaving a half second or so off and adding some water particles as well would have really perfected it.
Thank you so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it! :D
