She was basically cremated on the spot. look at the direction and shape. It doesn't strike me as superheating an object, since heat radiates from a source in all directions. Needless to say, its only a theory...and maybe a desperate one at that, but I would really like to see some form a tragic love story evolve for Jaune and Pyrrha since they are actually the only significant love story within RWBY at present. It would also give a serious motivating force to Jaune - something he lacks at present, since I dont see him at the "murderous revenge" sort of guy.
