Fire (Element)

Fire is one of the ten primary Elements of the universe, wielded by Pyromancers and Pyrokinetics. The others include;
Its opposite is Ice.
== Element Description ==
The Fire element is a very complex element, full of contradictions and extremes. On one hand, the Fire element can be gentle and warm, signifying life and comfort. On the other hand however, Fire can wreak massive destruction, using its intense flames to annihilate all enemies that stand in its way. The Fire element is unique in that it is a very emotion-based element, emotions such as passion and rage fueling the flames in order to maximize the raw power of Fire techniques. In combat, Fire wreaks havoc at all ranges, specializing in both close and mid range fighting. Defense is virtually null when it comes to the Fire element, focused almost completely on offense.
The general fighting style of Fire can vary from person to person, but the main combat style is using speed in conjunction with raw power to completely overwhelm and obliterate opponents. Rather than focusing on pinpoint accuracy, Fire spreads its destruction as far as it can in the hopes of eliminating all enemies in its way. In addition to the raw power of Fire techniques, Fire attacks also inflict lasting burns on enemies, resulting in further pain and injury. However, indirect damage is rarely the goal of the Fire element, which focuses on direct offense.
The element of Fire is marred by several weaknesses, however. First and foremost is Fire's most basic weakness: Water (and by proxy, Ice), which can often douse Fire techniques. Only an incredible amount of power can allow a Fire user to overcome the Water element. Water is not the only weakness of Fire however; all fire retardants can be used effectively against Fire techniques. Fire can also be blocked and and smothered by elements such as Earth. In addition, Fire is one of four elements directly effected by weather; in warm, dry, and humid situations Fire's power in enhanced. However, low-temperature locations and rainy weather can soften the power of Fire techniques. However, possibly the greatest weaknesses of Fire are self-inflicted ones. 
First and foremost, Fire lacks any significant defensive powers. This means that if one is capable of getting through or past the destructive power of Fire attacks, the Fire user is left in a dangerous situation, with no way to defend themselves beyond attempting to strike back. Fire also requires oxygen to burn, and a significant lack of it will generally cause fire attacks to fizzle out shortly after being unleashed. Finally, the Fire element's greatest weakness is stamina. The reason the Fire element focuses so much on destructive power and taking down enemies as fast as possible is because Fire attacks require more energy on average than the other base Elements. As such, if a Fire user is unable to take down their opponent quickly, exhaustion and a lack of any defense capabilities can leave a Fire user in a very tight spot.
A trait unique to both Fire and Electricity is what is referred to as a colour signature. Similar to the energy colors observable by a number of ocular abilities, a master of Fire or Electricity often has flames or sparks of a different color to the standard. This can effect Advanced elements slightly, so very slight variations of color can occur. This allows for a full spectrum of flame colors, and electrical colors, to be emitted as visible light. A good example of both is Flare the Wolf's blood-red flame signature and cerulean spark signature. 
===Notable Interactions with Other Elements===
All interactions assume that both mortal combatants have a roughly equal level of Chaos Resonance, and that the outside circumstances are wholly neutral. Special, element-specific exceptions will be mentioned if they arise.
Fire versus Fire isn't worth mentioning here. All of those just end up in total stalemates.
 = no contest (victor)
 = typically strong match-up
 = typically even match-up
 = typically poor match-up
 = no contest (loser)
* - A Nature wielder's ability to summon vines, thorns, etc. is generally rendered useless against a Fire wielder, as plants are quite flammable; a battle between a Fire wielder and a Nature wielder typically ends up quite one-sided as a result.
* - Despite Metal's increased defensive properties when compared to the base element of Earth, metal in general conducts heat easier than earth and stone, leading to an increased vulnerability against the Fire element; additionally, fire also oxidizes metals rather easily.
* - As ice in general melts easily, this leads many to believe that a Fire wielder will overcome an Ice wielder 100% of the time. However, the results depend on more complex factors than that; while fire can indeed melt ice, the resulting water can douse the flames, and large amounts of ice and snow can smother fire, as well. The effectiveness of both elements is dictated by the surrounding weather, so a Fire wielder will often get the upper hand in hot, dry weather, while the Ice wielder outperforms in cold weather.
* - Normally, the Water wielder will have the overall advantage, since obviously water douses fire with ease. However, the Fire wielder can certainly gain an edge if the weather is hot and dry, as Water is one of the four elements whose effectiveness is dictated by the surrounding environment; a lack of moisture means a lack of "material" to work with, forcing the Water wielder to use more energy to conjure the weapon themselves.
* - Fire is easily snuffed out by Earth, and stands virtually little chance of burning through Earth techniques as a whole.
==Fire-Aligned Deities==
===Fiamme===
The living embodiment of the Fire element, she is capable of using the Advanced elements of Napalm, Scorch, and Inferno. The Fire Clan is centered around this deity.
===Agni===
He is capable of using the Advanced element of Magma.
===Gabieta===
A primordial Fire Goddess who bears the title of "The Grand Phoenix". It is said that those who see her will be blessed with good fortune.
She is capable of using the Advanced element of Ash.
===Jacawitz===
He is capable of using the Advanced element of IceFire.
===Berylsythe===
She is capable of using the Advanced element of Plasma.
===Fire Deity Enjanagi===
He is capable of using Advanced elements of Inferno and Hellfyre in his normal and ragnarok forms.
===Vulkhanis===
Vulkhanis is an unusual entity for a Fire-elemental deity as he is not directly acknowledged by entities such as the Fire Clan. Instead, a small faction known simply as the Church of Vulkhanis praise his name and view him as a true embodiment of fire; positioning themselves in direct opposition to the Fire Clan of Fiamme. 
It is said in their teachings that Vulkhanis employs both Inferno-flames and Magma as primary powers, though his believers proclaim that he wields all powers of fire in his position as a true embodiment of Fire.
