While visually the thug’s burns don’t look serious (this isn’t an artistic criticism, real burns are gross to draw and taking artistic liberties with their depiction saves all of us the gore) it’s important to look at the context. We can clearly see it burned through his sleeve, and the most likely fabrics he’d be wearing are cotton, linen or wool. The ignition temps for these materials are roughly 255, 310, and 585 Celsius respectively. In short, that’s hot enough for third degree burns. His skin is probably boiling.
With what Ivan was channeling I would not be surprised if he accidentally turned him into a skeleton. He might have had that built up in the book from being bullied and never used a combat spell. But when he cast it it was emotom behind it.
Possible he can channel through the time he spent on the written spell and it’s a boost

Waaaaaait the first spell Ivan cast in the comic was the one to light the candles, when he met Eggie – I bet this is that spell! One he knows well!
