Fire Powers (FiD)
Starfox's Blades in the Dark fan page |
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.
