Ifrit

The **Ifrit** are elemental genies of Fire and the final life stage of the **Ifrit** race. They are capable of massive destruction and bursts of plasma with their powers. **Ifrit** are the beings responsible for heat and the circulation of the Chaos of Fire found through all the known verses.

## Physiology

**Ifrit** resemble smaller versions of Pyros, the Fire Primordial. They are formed of plasma, and a core which is the basis for their being and growth, energy cannot be destroyed only transformed as such an Ifrit acquires more and more power throughout its lifecycle if an Ifrit is killed then its energy is stored in its elemental core and only after the core is destroyed or the energy in the core spent can the energy return to the Elemental Plane of Fire.

## Lifecycle & The Elemental Core

### Fire Mephits

The first stage in the **Ifrit** life-cycle, a weaker servile 'larval' form of the **Ifrit**. Formed from the individual shards of a Ifrit's essence, many Mephits are born at each shattering event. Fire Mephits in particular are capricious and cruel compared to other types of Mephits. They have a deep-seated disdain for water elemental creatures of all kinds, even their fellow mephits, and they see steam mephits in particular as an utter abomination. They are often found in the service of Fire Elementals and/or their parent Ifrit. The Elemental core of a Fire Mephit is a lightish-red almost pink color and is the size of a pearl.

### Fire Daemons

The second stage in the **Ifrit** life-cycle, a **Fire Daemon** forms either by enough **Fire Mephits** fusing together which is more commonly how **Fire Daemons** come into being or on rare occasions through individual aging.

A juvenile Ifrit it is unable to grant powerful wishes but can still grant great magical capacities to mages if they know how to use them. The Elemental core of a Fire Daemon is a pale red color and is the size of a standard gemstone often mistaken for a ruby by the less educated.

### Fire Elementals

The third stage in the **Ifrit** life-cycle.

An almost fully grown Ifrit as it grows older and stronger it will eventually become a Ifrit. Though the process can take centuries. Though they share the same name, mage made Elementals are usually made of rock and other materials found in the world, while the Elemental of the Genie life-cycle is made up of pure elemental chaos. The Elemental core of a Fire Elemental is a natural red color and is the size of a fist often mistaken for a large unpolished ruby by the less educated.

### Ifrit

Full grown members of the race.

A Genie of Fire, it is said that the first Ifrits were made by the Fire Primodial, Pyros the same way Ifrits created **Fire Mephits**, by extracting a piece of their essence and shattering it, and the pieces became the first Ifrits. The Elemental core of a Ifrit is a deep crimson red color and is the size of a human head or larger as such they may go undiscovered as national treasures for centuries if not examined by a mage.
