Well, you've got to remember that the Searing Daleks aren't just mutants in a shell. They're glitches in the fabric of space and time. Creating them requires massive damage to the timeline--usually, the Daleks will use a a device similar to the Progenitor from Victory of the Daleks to set up an invisible link between thirteen Daleks and a major point in time and space. This major point could be a city, with millions of people making choices that result in potential temporal energy, or it could simply be a place and time in which an important event occurs, such as the birth or death of a major historical figure. Anywhere that is important to the timeline will work.

Once the process begins, the thirteen lesser Daleks and the point in time connected with them will be deleted from history. In the case of a city, this means that the city will never have existed. The space once occupied by the city would be wildness again. Roads would no longer connect the area to the outside world. No one but the Time Lords would even know it had existed.

Does that answer your question? I've thought about typing up a quick story that illustrates the nature of the Searing Daleks and their creation.
