An importance of parallel heat conduction in plasma for formation of multifaceted radiation from the edge (MARFE) is assessed analytically by taking into account the magnetic geometry of the tokamak. It is demonstrated for circular nonconcentric due to Shafranov shift magnetic surfaces that toroidally symmetric perturbations of a MARFE-like structure with a maximum at the high-field side have the largest growth rate. Both the threshold and characteristic poloidal width of these perturbations depend essentially on plasma parallel heat conduction and geometric characteristics.
