Does this heighten ability actually… do anything? You can make the crawling flame medium instead of small, but size differences don’t have any inherent mechanical effect usually, and small and medium creatures take up the same amount of space. I guess grapple rules use size, can you grapple a crawling flame?
At least with the higher levels, the flame takes up more squares and has larger kinetic auras, but small->medium doesn’t really seem to do anything.

This is an important way to make yourself more convenient for enemies to hit, it expand the support abilities to include support to your enemies. I like it.

Small->Medium doesn’t increase reach or space, which is why I’m wondering why the 8th level version even exists.

The best I can figure out is it lets the Desert Shimmer aura effect more squares? And allows more enemies to surround your Crawling Flame to gang up on it and kill you.
I would say it is probably supposed to be comparable to an Eidolon increasing in size but it just doesn't feel like it has much of the possible benefits of an Eidolon.

It's the difference between whispering
