You could probably do it by using several very small, well placed
spheres, give them a high ambient value, and then attach a lens
flare to each one. I did something similar in a tribute to Chris
Colefax a while back and it worked pretty well. This might even
be possible to set up in Moray but since I don't use that program
I can't say for sure. For creating the flame itself you are on
your own.

P.S. This question would have been better asked in the newuser
or advanced user group instead of this binary scene-files group.
It helps keep the groups better organized.
