Fire

**The Fire Art** (ファイヤーアート, Fire Art) is one of the five Elemental types in the Matsunami universe, a pyrokinetic ability able to literally-as the name suggests-wield Fire. This Element is generated by heating up one's Aura and converting it into a more plasma like state of matter. Fire is often represented as a Boar in the Matsunami-verse, along with Earth, for its stubborn and powerful being.

## Overview

The Fire Art is rumored to be the first Art which humans inherited, whether from dragons or another mythological creature depending on your theology or beliefs. Fire is one of the more common of the Elements. It is used notably by Gaijin Ingram, Atsui Hadou, and by the mysterious samurai, Susanoo. It is the Element of anger and power, and typically represented by the boar in the game of Ino-Shika-Cho. One can generate Fire by flaring their Aura into a fiery hot temperature and expelling it out of their bodies. The most common way is to launch it out of your fingertips, but sometimes Fire has been shown to come from the user's mouth, or even from their feet. Fire is most commonly used for offensive measures, but can also be used to erect a giant flaming wall around the user or someone nearby in order to protect them from an incoming assault.

## Fighting Style

Fire, as is for every Element, stems from the energy called Aura. Fire, in a sense, is a little more easy to recreate than other Elements. Now, this is not to say it is easier to *wield* than other Elements. Many in the past have tried and failed miserably to train and master Fire because of its destructive properties. For this reason, Dengeki Kaminari developed a fear of Fire (although he never did try to master Fire in specific). Fire is made simply by gathering one's Aura and super heating it into its combusting point and drawing it out of one's pores or other means of exit.

Typically, Fire is expelled from the pores in one's hands, and rarely their feet, as displayed by Gaijin Ingram. But rarely, users will be able to expel these hot and burning flames from their mouths, just as Atsui Hadou has performed. The detriment to this little technique is that you will feel the burning in your throat as it rises. Fire Artists are generally unharmed by their own Fire as a result of their natural affinity toward it. Their Aura is used to the heat and so it protects them. Unfortunately, though, if it is recreated in the inside of your body as a firebreathing art, the body is not able to protect you from the quick pain. Atsu was able to bypass this issue through time and significant training.

One is able to change the size in which their fire comes out in. Sometimes Fire will come out in short blasts, and sometimes it can come out in vast waves of colliding, orange heat. Generally this depends on the amount of physical power and Aura your body has, but it also takes a little bit of intelligence to expel large flames... or, on the other hand, to control flames into a tiny burst instead of needlessly exerting your Aura to create a big volley.

One is also able to create almost an Aura of fire around themselves. This is an ability that Susanoo has. The trick is to exert your Aura out of your body, but then to convert it into a burning heat that is Fire. The process itself is easy, but it is not so easy to maintain, as it drains one's Aura relatively quickly as all of it is being pushed outside your body at once. A smaller, yet just as effective trick is to just channel all Aura and firepower into one hand so that you create an almost gauntlet-like covering of Fire around your fist. Atsui has shown this ability in her fight with Yami Yagami.
