Spellfire

Spellfire was a form of raw magic, being the raw energy of the Weave and a very rare magical power.
==Usage==
It was highly coveted by many in Faerûn, as it allowed the user to absorb spells cast at them, internally convert it to raw magical energy, and then use it in a myriad of ways. Spellfire energies could be used to heal, to project destructive bursts of flame from the eyes, to fly, and, in rare cases, for a powerful ability known as the Crown of Fire.
==Description==
Spellfire usually appeared as a font of silver light and healing energy. When used in battle, it looked like a radiant blue-white flame. For a long time, the ability to control spellfire was believed to be unique to a single person each generation, but that was a fallacy: most wielders simply chose to hide their ability in order to avoid getting noticed by powerful organizations such as the Cult of the Dragon.
==Known Spellfire Wielders==
The bearers of lesser and true spellfire include:
* Shandril Shessair
* Dammasae the Incantatrix, mother of Shandril
* Baerendra Riverhand
* Haelam Sunderstone
* Iliph Thraun
* Myrjala Talithyn
* Shoulree Talaeth

As of 1372 DR, other wielders of true spellfire were reported to be a mage in hiding in the Border Kingdoms, a noble of Chessenta known for their cruelty and arrogance, and a wizard whose name begins with "R".
== Spellfire versus Silver Fire==
While both spellfire and silver fire originated from the raw energy of the Weave, they didn't have exactly the same effect. Spellfire was pure raw energy, while silver fire was a power granted to the Chosen of Mystra to channel the Weave's energy in a more subtle way.This silver fire may be the same as lesser spellfire, as most of Mystra's Chosen are stated to have only lesser spellfire on page 56 of Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition.
