Those who often wielded that great force often have to deal with the burden that comes with it and sometimes will be consumed by it if they are not too careful.

Allowing to achieve things that mast practices have difficultly done, such as melting metal at a faster pace or making it stronger increase the heat of the flames themselves. There are of course of things it can be used such as cooking, bending wood, and preserving things, but metalworking is where it truly shines.

All that is certain is that they can be difficult at times, especially when working with others. But they are often clever in their own right and see things and know things the most wouldn't as their thirst for knowledge is like burning fire itself as they search for more to satisfy themselves. Making them someone to have around in a difficult situation, but some can develop an ego that can make them see themselves as the center of attention. Especially when they try to be competitive and strive to be on top. Though it tends to get them into trouble one way or another.

But the fire must be controlled at all times by the user to ensure that it does not get out of hand. For has no allegiances, even to those who wield it as it cares little of those they burn. By being the source of the fire a user will not have trouble relying on their environment to aid them in battle. But key factors of their environment will affect them nonetheless.
