Fire Archon

When a Blazesteel flanks a foe, it gets an extra attack agains the creature it flanks "whenever it attacks". Yes, by strict RAW this infinitely loops with itself. But let's interpret it in a non-silly way, shall we? Let's say an extra attack per round. They also deal an extra 1d6 fire damage to creatures they flank for each other Fire Archon adjacent to that target.

I think the intended reading is (in my own rewording) "whenever the Blazesteel Archon is flanking a foe, each time it would be able to choose to make attacks add +1 to the number of attacks made. For example: on its turn it, due to its base attack bonus, if attacking with a weapon it normally makes 2 attacks, while flanking it makes 3. If on the enemies turn, it is still flanking and its foe (that its flanking) causes the Archon to make an attack of opportunity, it would get 2 attacks, 1 as normal +1 for its flanking bonus." This means its potentially more than just "an extra attack per round" as you said, but not nearly infinite, which yeah the poor original wording can be abused to imply.
