Any changes or suggestions before submission?

This one is pretty good as is I think.

i think if a card has less than 2 attack its unaffected cus decks like pests and photon fractal you know

[PhantomFox]

Because heaven forbid that any deck have a natural counter...

I kid, but seriously, the ability is 3 per turn, so it's rather quanta heavy to keep going all the time.  With a deck that has , Rain of Fire would shut down ROL/Hope, and Nightfall is mainly used with fractal pests, which would alleviate that problem if you're that concerned about it.

Multiple copies can stack the duration of the effect

I don't like this so much, because previous status effects (frozen, delayed) did not stack duration.

Not to say that new abilities have to conform to the old ones, but it's just a preference of mine.  Thematically, wouldn't the oppressive heat disperse once the heat source is removed (Therm is killed)?  It shouldn't matter that there were multiple sources--they can't extend their heat presence into the future.

[PhantomFox]

Well, I wanted multiple copies to be useful, but having the effect stack was too powerful.  So it was either increase the base effect and have it not stack, or have the duration stack.

Thematically, I guess higher heat makes it take longer to cool down.  Or something.

I've wanted to see a card like this for so long, I simply couldn't think of anything for it...
With your permission, could I use a similar effect with a permanent?

[PhantomFox]

I don't think my permission is required, but sure.  Why not?
