Thread Primary Goal: Fully Define All of What :fire is and is not.
Thread Secondary Goal: Define :fire so new mechanics can be derived.

General Introduction to :fire -
Fire, as many people see it, is destruction, a force so great that defense is not needed. Fire creatures are viewed as power-hungry beasts with no other purpose but to destroy and consume. This is true, but fire has other properties as well, a lot of emotions can be ruled under the element fire, and a lot of magnificent, but peaceful creatures can also be (i.e. the Phoenix).

My Views -
- Destruction: the main focus of fire, but not the only purpose, fire's destructive spells, permanents, and creatures are generally there for pure damage, no pussy delay effects.
- Emotions: anger, love, hate, and so many other emotions can be ruled under fire
- Protection: fire is a ruthless element, it crushes the enemy before getting crushed, and thus has almost no defense (creatures don't have high HP either), however, if healing is to be implemented, it would heal for a certain amount, and then you lose a small amount of your HP each turn for a number of turns.

It is important to differentiate between Fire in the ETG cosmology and Fire in other cosmologies and mythologies. Some of the wiki can be applied some would be inaccurate.

Personally I think of Fire as a Destructive Force that can convert resources into earlier but smaller payloads (cremate).
