Edwin could feel the heat coming from the sphere, it made him begin to sweat. He stayed on the defensive, using his shield to block the Sphere's attacks. The scolding blade scorched the Shield of Soltitude, leaving a black sword mark on it.

The Nord retreated, easily able to put some distance between himself and the machine now that the heat had hindered its movements.

It then turned its attention to the closest intruder and tried to fire its crossbow at Edwin, but its arm was bent so the bolt missed and hit the ground.

Dwemer Metal's melting point was close to 950 degrees (Celsius), while a Flames spell was only around 540 degrees (Celsius, temperature of flamethrower). So the machine wasn't going to melt. However, the continued blast of flames was doing irreversable damage to its internal gears. They began to weld together thanks to being superheated and became while malleable.

This caused the machine to lose its gyroscopic stabilization and it fell over unable to move.
