Yes, Fire manipulation is a power that allows the user to manipulate, control, shape, or even create fire freely. This includes reaction products, oxidation of different materials through exothermic chemical combustion process, releasing light and heat, etc. in which flame is a visible part of the fire.
Through this article, let’s dig deep into the superpower and learn about it in detail.
What are the capabilities of Fire Manipulation?
Agnikinesis, Fire Control, Fire Bending, Flame Control, Flame Manipulation, Fotikinesis, Flambokinesis, Flamokinesis, Ignikinesis, Phlegokinesis, Pyrokinesis, or even Fire Summoning, whatever you call it, Fire manipulation is a power that allows you to have complete control over fire. Hence, it is clear that users can control every aspect related to fire and its impurities like carbon, plants, or any burnable substance.
When it comes to the capabilities of Fire Manipulation, different level users have different abilities for controlling fire. Here is a quick list.
1. Beginner’s Level
The users in the initial level can control and generate fire flames with basic abilities. They can generate small flames, control their size and shape, as well as regulate the fire’s temperature. The users can create minor attacks using fire to kindle objects. They have control over the intensity of the heat or flames depending on the impurities present. It should also be noted that they have limited control over the flames so they fail in controlling the effects and movements of the fire completely.
2. Medium Level
The medium-level users have a little versatile and refined fire manipulation abilities. They are capable of creating a larger fire flame and manipulating them with better control. The users can create complex attacks involving fire such as flame streams, fiery constructs, fireballs, etc. They can also create defensive flame barriers and control the fire spread. They can now increase the flame intensity and use it to cause more damage in the surroundings.
3. Master Level
The masters of this power have complete control over fire and its elements. They have developed unlimited skills to use fire flames in different ways. They can now create tremendously powerful and larger flames, ignite and engulf the entire area or multiple opponents at a time.
