"I said fire is an electronegative element that takes electrons from another element which isn't far from the truth."

Designating fire as an element would be incorrect as it is merely the combustion reaction of an element stating its electronegative is also not correct as fire is an oxidation reaction which is stated to be "is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion."~wikipedia (with sources). Even though oxygen is extremely electronegative when it's being depleted as a gaseous flame, electrons are extremely volatile within this high temperature state and unstabilized causing the loss. Alas, I also view electricity and magnetism as an inherent component but for the purposes of this wiki, I am compelled to treat them as a separate entity. Plus, it still does depend on the user to have sufficient control at the subatomic level.
