Holy Fire

Purification vs. Sterilization

The primary function of Holy Fire is not moral purification (e.g., distinguishing good from evil), but rather energy sterilization. It does not pass judgment but neutralizes opposing forces, removing magical and metaphysical contaminants from a being, object, or location.

• Purification: Removing external influences, including corrupted magic, curses, and unstable energies.
• Sterilization: The absolute burning away of all energies except Light energy, making it highly potent against beings aligned with Dark Energy or unstable magical forces.

This effect disrupts and weakens Unholy entities and can even erase their ability to use magic if their power is reliant on Dark Energy.

Holy Fire can be utilized in various techniques, spells, and manifestations, making it one of the most versatile and potent forms of Power Light.

1. Divine Energy Manipulation

Users can wield Holy Fire as an extension of Divine Force, applying it offensively or defensively.

• Divine Fire Generation – Summon and expel flames composed of pure divine essence.
• Holy Fire Attacks – Project devastating torrents, beams, or explosive bursts of Holy Fire.
• Holy Fire Constructs – Shape weapons, shields, barriers, and even sentient avatars from the flames.
• Holy Fire Solidification – Condense flames into a solid, nearly indestructible form.

2. Cleansing and Healing

• Healing Fire – Utilize Holy Fire to restore wounds, cure curses, and dispel corruption.
• Impurity Destruction – Purge magical contaminants, possession, and malevolent enchantments.
• Purification Rituals – Consecrate objects, places, or individuals to prevent the return of evil forces.

3. Banishment and Exorcism

Holy Fire can be used as a banishing force, repelling, or outright destroying entities from other realms.

• Banishment Flames – Expel demons, spirits, or Unholy beings back to their realms.
• Containment Flames – Immobilize divine or supernatural beings without harming them.
• Exorcism Pyres – Burn away malevolent influences from people, locations, or artifacts.

4. Resurrection and Summoning

Advanced Holy Fire wielders can manipulate the connection between life and death, invoking the spirits of the deceased.

• Summon the Deceased – Call forth spirits temporarily, allowing them to communicate or interact.
• Summon Beings of Fire and Light – Conjure celestial entities, holy warriors, or angels to fight alongside them.
• Resurrection Flames – Reignite the spark of life in a fallen being, restoring them through the essence of Holy Fire.

While immensely powerful, Holy Fire is not without its limitations:

1. Inaccessibility Without Power Light
2. Holy Fire cannot be wielded by those who lack Power Light, as it requires Samadhi Elemental Fire fused with Light Energy.
3. Irreversible Sterilization
4. Mortals who lose their magic due to sterilization may never regain it unless they develop Light Magic Affinity.
5. Potential Collateral Damage
6. Due to its indiscriminate sterilization effects, Holy Fire can accidentally erase beneficial magic or disrupt sacred sites.
7. Exhaustive Energy Demands
8. Maintaining Holy Fire constructs or performing resurrections drains vast amounts of mana and mental stamina, requiring immense concentration.

Understanding Energy in Magic

In the Seven Seals Legendarium, magic exists in two primary forces:

• Yin (Mana): Raw magical energy, which is unstructured and untamed.
• Yang (Natural Energy): The refined energy that structures magic, which exists in three forms:
• Power Light (Pure photonic and divine force)
• Power Dark (Chaotic, corruptive force from Unholy Cosmos)
• Natural Energy (A balance of Light and Dark Energy, used by Mortal beings)

When Holy Fire sterilizes a being, it strips away all but Light Energy, disrupting their magical framework.

• Unholy Beings: Suffer extreme damage due to their heavy reliance on Dark Energy.
• Mortal Beings: Less affected, but sterilization may permanently remove their ability to use magic, unless they awaken an affinity for Light Magic.
• Light-Aligned Beings: Unharmed or even empowered by Holy Fire.

Holy Fire, as an extension of Power Light, originates from realms where Light Energy dominates, often serving as the cosmic counterbalance to darkness and entropy.

Means of Acquiring Holy Fire

1. Consumption of Ashvattha Fruit
2. Harvested from the Lehotree, this fruit infuses the consumer with photonic energy, permanently altering their being into a Light-based entity.
3. Gifts from Celestial Beings
4. Holy Fire is sometimes bestowed by divine entities, such as angels, cosmic avatars, or luminous deities, upon those deemed worthy.
5. Samadhi Magic Mastery
6. Holy Fire requires an advanced understanding of Samadhi Magic, specifically the mastery of Samadhi Elemental Fire, which acts as its foundational energy source.
