Those flames may be beautiful, but they are just as destructive.
Phoenix Flame
Magic Name: Phoenix Flame
Magic Type: Lost; Lost magic is similar to caster magic in what it can accomplish and how flexible it is. However, the big difference between caster and lost is that Lost magic is stronger but also harder to cast.
- Description:
- Phoenix Flame was created over a millennia ago by an experimental mage who had curiosities about the power of human emotion and its effect on how one uses magic. His studies aimed to create a new magical art for the world to behold, one that manipulated the emotions of the user to fuel their magic energy, thus creating a cycle of infinite power. By taking control of their feelings, the user could channel and transform it into something tangible, like fire, and each type of flame would do something different just as fire does in reality. It does not just burn and take away, it also gives life and comfort. He was also quite fascinated by the Phoenix and its abilities; to destroy and create new life from that destruction by burning itself down to a pile of ashes and rising from it anew. He wondered if the magic he was creating used emotion to recycle magic energy and conjure flames with different effects depending on what the user was feeling, could it also prolong their lifespan? And not only that, could it be used to heal? This aspect of the Phoenix Flame was based purely on the user’s level of desire, as the creator had decided that the art of intention would fit well with saving lives. For example, if the user held a deep affection for the person or thing that they were trying to save, the healing power of the flames would be much more effective. The healing aspect could also be used on the user themselves, but at a price. The creator of Phoenix Flame taught his magic to only one person, a young girl he’d found in an alley on a stormy afternoon who had nearly bled to death because of a brutal stoning. He took her in, cared for her and saw her potential, in the end deciding that she would be his apprentice.
Phoenix Flame, as told previously, is based heavily on emotion and intention. It is as restorative as it is destructive and what it does all depends on the user. There are no verbal or physical incantations used in this magic; all of it is controlled by the mind and directed through the body. Phoenix Flame is not perfect, in fact, compared to most magics it is incredibly flawed. This is due to the fact that has only ever been used by one person and was, in essence, an experiment. It is, in a way, incomplete. Its spells are created and mastered on a whim, purely by accident and discovered by chance. There is no telling what might occur when the Phoenix Flame is put to work, in any situation. What is known for sure though, is what effects the user’s fire has. Positive emotions will typically conjure healing, comforting, and non-destructive flames ranging from warm pinks or purples to soft yellow or golden hues. They do not burn to injure or damage but to assist in whatever way the user sees fit. Negative emotions can conjure two types of flames, and each type has its own variations. The first are flames that burn to destroy and can inflict extreme harm on anyone or anything they touch and are usually bright red or orange; these are conjured when the user feels intense anger or rage and has a desire only to hurt. The second are flames that burn not to destroy, but to “sting” or stun and can be varying shades of green, sometimes blue. These, when contact is made, are able to put whoever or whatever they touch, if it is living, at a disadvantage and are commonly caused by sadness or bitterness.
Unique Abilities:
- Ability D: “Heat Detection”; this ability allows the user to identify people or things near them by their unique heat signature. Every living thing has one and ultimately, this ability helps the user recognize whether their surroundings are familiar or not and can help them gauge the environment's safety.
- Ability B: “Sympathy”; this ability allows the user to share with others how they are feeling through touch. It does not use flames and thus has no physical effect on the one being touched, but a soft glow to indicate that there is a transfer occurring. The color of the glow depends on the user’s mood.
- Ability S: “No Pain, No Gain” a.k.a. “Self-healing”; this ability allows the user to heal themselves, with a condition of course. If the user has been injured, they can speed up the wounds healing process by burning themselves with a source of pure fire, one made naturally and not with magic. It is a sort of ‘punishment’ for being selfish, but the self-inflicted burns will heal just as quickly the wounds the user meant to heal in the first place. While the pain is excruciating, the result is a perfect, scarless heal. The effect this ability has depends on how long the user burns themselves. All wounds being healed will appear to be covered in ash and once the process is complete, the ash will fall away and leave the afflicted area just like new.
