Yes, Swordsage. Now, open up your Tome of Battle and take a look at the variants. Normally the Arcane Swordsage variant is overpowered due to the amazing number of powerful Save-or-Sucks, personal buffs, or general utility spells you can shell out. If, however, you only stock up on fire-based, mostly damaging spells, I think you can convince your DM to allow it. Then just mix and match spells and (if allowed) maneuvers from Desert Wind to taste. In place of Stances, either pick Personal spells, extra spells, or Desert Wind Stances, depending on your DM's ruling.

No. The arcane variant is a textbook example of what not to do. Just go standard Swordsage focusing on Desert Wind, or maybe go Duskblade 7/SS 1/JPM 10/X 2. No need to pull out the idiocy of that variant just for flaming fire.
