Capabilities

The users can create and manipulate the unholy flames of Hell (or an analogous realm like Purgatory or the "Demon Realm"). These flames' coloration may vary, being either red-orange and indistinguishable from normal fire or something exotic (black, white, blue, green, purple, crimson, etc.). In any case, even if visually unremarkable, hell's flames are likely to have an unusual feel to them, i.e. give off an unearthly aura. Sometimes, hell-fire is not generated ex nihilo but instead summoned — from the depths of Hell itself.

Given its nature as soul-burning fire meant for torturing sinners, hell-fire may cause more excruciating pain than standard fire on contact, or burn more painfully in proportion to how "sinful" the target soul is. Alternatively it may deal instant death, going by the logic that the living are not meant to endure Hell's touch. It may also have a purifying effect if the hell-fire user can selectively burn only spirits: that is, hell-fire may be able to literally burn away "sin" (evil) or exorcise evil spirits and demons possessing humans without hurting said human hosts in the process. Hell-flames may also serve as a medium for certain magical effects: e.g. creating fiery gateways to Hell, summoning infernal spirits/demons, binding, trapping or banishing demonic and/or celestial beings, recalling dead spirits trapped in Hell temporarily back to the world of the living, etc.

Hell-fire may burn far hotter than regular fire or instead not emit heat at all, simply disintegrating anything it engulfs without leaving so much as ashes. Conversely, hell-fire may be the opposite of hot, "burning" with cold instead. Due to being of non-physical origin, hell-fire may be unbound by the normal limitations of Earthly fire: it may be able to ignite (and keep burning) without fuel or oxygen and in anaerobic environments, like underwater or space. It may be able to eat through normally non-combustible materials and be inextinguishable through any mundane means, like dousing in water (except with water of equally mystic potency, like holy water).

Another perk of hell-fire is that, due to its unearthly origin and the fact that it tends to burn a person's spiritual essence (soul) in addition to (or in place of) their physical body, hell-fire can be effective against physically fireproof targets, those who have immortality or accelerated healing, and/or those who have invulnerable bodies, bypassing physical defenses. As hell-fire can harm the spirit, it might inflict injuries that either do not heal or do so very slowly, meaning that a critical attack could kill those that otherwise heal fast enough to shrug off instantly fatal damage.

Limitations

• The flames created can be difficult to control and rein in given their potent and otherworldly nature/composition, and they may cause lethal backfire upon the user if not handled properly.
  • Some people may not be compatible with the power to control hell-fire, which may cause the flames to burn them the moment they try to summon/control it.
  • Since the flames may be inextinguishable, they can be very troublesome to control once used to set fire to something, and the user may be unable to make them go out under their own power. Low-level users may indeed only be able to summon hell-fire and let it run wild, not manipulate it.
  • Users must be careful when spawning the hell's flames around comrades, to prevent causing unintended harm and casualties.
• User may not be able to manipulate normal fire and cannot use hell's flames for normal everyday purposes (i.e. cooking, creating campfires, etc.).
• Summoning the hell-fire (if sourced directly from Hell) may require some sort of ritual as a precondition.
• Hell-fire may be extinguished or repelled by holy items and substances (i.e. holy water, crosses).
• Purification can turn Hellfire back to original fire, or erase it outright.
• Countered by Holy Fire Manipulation and Holy Water Manipulation.
• Divine Force Manipulation can overcome this ability.
