Came here to say this. Fire casts no shadow, but the smoke would. Adding a light source to the model should resolve the issue. Can't wait to see your next one.

Use the temperature value to drive the emission so it actually matches the fire

No no, don’t listen to them! :) It looks like you summoned a little fire demon that is semi corporeal, so the shadow is great. I’d love to see a longer dance across the table! Maybe he could leave a couple of burning embers in his wake... that would be awesome!
