Yep. Used it with Pyro.
Stats:
9 fire defense, 2 fire power.
Single use: 14 damage
2x multi-use: 1 damage
Going to try using/double-using these with high fire power, with really high fire defense and until getting beat up, and perhaps triple using.
Writing for the long-neglected GOC Casefiles canon.
Message for using 50 at once with 0 Fire Power / Fire Defense:
As you begin to examine the ectoplasm, it explodes into a mass of flames, setting off the other samples. You're enveloped in a pillar of fire that seems driven by malice, channeling all its energies into burning you.
You take 349 damage.
You wake up several minutes later, the deep burns over your body slowly healing. In retrospect, that might not have been a great idea.

Why is the Burning Ectoplasm a quest item?
It does seem a bit odd - the direct results of the protein analyser are quest items, but very few are quest items further up the crafting chain. If the only use of this is just an intermediary step in the crafting process, I'd have expected other similar items like the Poltergeist Solution to be quest items too.
I stand corrected.
This bit of the description;
it looks like something a mythical hero might carry to light her way
reminds me of The Black Sketchbook, where the hero gathers fire and uses the skullful of fire to light the way in the Tunnels of the Black Book.
It's also conceivable there might be some kind of interaction with rose balm.
EDIT: What about (multi-)using this with a smoldering skull equipped? The message when you make one says
It's no longer on fire, but still smoldering slowly.
Maybe you can re-ignite it?
With smouldering skull (and -5 F.D.):
The ectoplasm explodes, seemingly with malice. Tendrils of flame wrap around you, scorching you.
You take 30 damage.
You wake up several minutes later, the deep burns over your body slowly healing. In retrospect, that might not have been a great idea.
Nothing special, for single use at least :/
