I raise you a Moonlight Glaive that extends far above the character's head and emits a huge wavering glow. It's actually really distracting and obscuring while exploring as well. In cutscenes it's something that would warrant a "Can you put that thing away?" from whoever you're talking to. A Glaive isn't even a very big weapon compared to some Halberds you find. With a burning Halberd I imagine it would be even worse.
They should really keep persistent effects to a minimum. It's gotten better since EA but more work is needed.
