Fire is an element of transformation, it can destroy but also forge.

Fire is the the element of energy and change; it fuels the processes of the world. Science sees fire as a process, not an element. Fire powers are often destructive, manifesting as searing goats of flame, raging elementals, or anger. But it has a peaceful side as well in the application of intelligence, crafts and industry.

Fire attacks are direct and deadly.

Fire creatures include fire elementals, fire-breathing dragons, and other monsters with fire powers. Learning who to summon may require study or be a a score in itself. It includes desert animals, which can also be affected by Animal powers.

 '''Blaze Firestorm'''
 Create a firestorm or put one out.
-== Old Fire Powers ==
-=== Tinker ===
-Manipulate, shape, and create fire to suit your needs.
-Fire is a powerful transformative element, and can modify substance governed by other powers.
-When used with long-term projects, powers can often substitute for missing resources such as tools or raw materials, but that is all it does until you can start using Fabricate.
-'''Kindling Control:'''
-''You can handle fire as if you had the appropriate tools and protective devices. You can create fire out of nothing.
-This mainly substitutes for tools, up to a small workshop.
-You are also protected from any dangerous effects of working with the elements of your power.
-The ability to create and control fire allows crafts like smithing, casting, kiln firing, and baking, but at this level you still can't create the extreme temperatures needed for truly advanced crafts.
-'''Pyroshaping:'''
-''You can shape fire as if it were of clay, and the fire will retain their new shape for some time even. You can forge, solder, and weld.
-You can now do more than normal craft could do.
-You can create really hot fire and use it to craft other materials.
-You can shape fire and have it retain that shape for a while.
-This lets you create fire conduits, allowing you to set up patterns of fire similar to what you could do with ducts and chimneys.
-This may allow you to set up traps or devices that would normally require extensive equipment.
-The position depends on how quiet your workplace is and how much time you have to work with.
-The effect determines the effectiveness of your construction, but also how long it will last.
-Devices that are more powerful are harder to contain, and thus wont last as long.
-Most Pyroshaping will only be good for a single scene, but if your effect surpasses that required for the effect you want, you can stretch the effect until the end of the score.
-'''Fire Fusion:'''
-''You can transform an object by precise heat treatment. This works well on metals but can also create materials judged by other powers you know.
-You can transform anything that can be worked by heat even if you don't know the power related to the result.
-If you know other powers, you can create matter associated with those powers by applying fire to any other material that is not superbly heat resistant.
-'''Ember Engineering:'''
-''This is similar to Pyroshaping but you mass produce objects, even a set of different objects. You can also make something large, such as a vehicle or building.
-This is Pyroshaping on a larger scale.
-Useful for equipping a large band or building something large out of nothing.
-When doing long-term projects that involve building or crafting, you can use Ember Engineering to great effect, even under what normally be poor conditions, but this has the usual stress cost.
