Playing with Fire: Difference between revisions

* Pyromancy is one of the "legal" magical schools in ''[[Shadow Ops]]''. It is also one of the most powerful and destructive schools, though it lacks any of the other elemental schools' versatility. All a pyromancer can do is create flame in various amounts and generate mindless fire elementals, though their ability to do so makes them one of the more valued schools if only through sheer, literal firepower.

 

* Callisto in [[Xena: Warrior Princess]] is a [https://web.archive.org/web/20150428010235/http://i2.listal.com/image/947820/500full.jpg perfect] [http://www.xena.nu/callistogod.JPG example] of this trope, while {{spoiler|she was a god}}, at least.

* Claire's biological mother, Meredith, and her brother Flint in ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]].'' Flint's flames are blue, and thus more powerful. Meredith's burn red; however, she has more control.

* Most demons in ''[[Charmed]]'' throw fireballs. Phoebe also had this power in her past life.

 

* Hephaestus from [[Greek Mythology]]. Sometimes, the three solar dieties (Hyperion, Helios, and Apollo) also are associated with Fire, if not with [[Light'Em Up|Light]].

* Surtr, Lord of the Fire Giants from [[Norse Mythology]]. Also, sometimes, Loki.

* The goddesses Sekhmet and Wadjet and various serpents of the Duat (underworld) in [[Egyptian Mythology]].

* Pele. [[I Thought It Meant|No, not the soccer player.]] The fire/volcano goddess of Hawaiian Mythology.

* There's several subspecies with this power in [[Bionicle]], though some of the more notable characters are Tahu, Vakama, and Jaller.

* Yui's Black Fire ability in ''[[Battle Golfer Yui]]'' turns her golf ball into a fireball. Function-wise, it's a combination of the Kamaitachi, D. Marionette, and Aquahopper.

 

* Coffinshaker and Fred from ''[[What's Shakin']]''.

* Bob from ''[[Bob and George]]''.

* The Fire-Human, from ''[[Water Human]]''. He literally looks like he's made of fire and might, in fact, be just an [[Elemental Embodiment]]. His servants also have fire spells.

* The ''[[Anti Cliche and Mary Sue Elimination Society]]'''s Tash uses very powerful fire magic, first with a [[Magic Staff|staff]], then with a [[Cool Sword|sword]].
