fire

The flashiest and most used of the four elements, this power is mostly used to hurl fireballs at foes. Skulduggery Pleasant has a more powerful grasp of the fire element, mainly due to the time he had to practice when trapped with the Faceless Ones. Elemental sorcerers create fire by generating friction, usually the snapping of fingers, and use it for various purposes. This allows for speculation that fire is the second most powerful of the elements, as its level of destructive power solely depends on the magical abilities of the sorcerer. However, fire still requires oxygen to be present, and as such, it is not very useful in closed areas.

Uses

• Users can create streams of fire from their hands.
• Fire can be utilised to manipulate flames into whatever the user pleases, for example, a wall of fire.
• Users can envelop their body with fire, and then "throw" streams of it, like a flamethrower.
• Users can throw fire balls. More powerful mages, such as Skulduggery and Ravel, can send bursts of flame, as seen in Mortal Coil when fighting Tesseract for the first time.
• Focusing fireballs into smaller, more intense flames for cutting and carving.
