* Fuel
The Devil's command of flames allows her to fuel existing fires with the power
of her Faith, turning a simple source of heat into a raging inferno with a
thought.
Torment: Monstrous Devils fuel the strength of an existing blaze rather than
its dimensions, burning it more brightly and more fiercely, to higher temperatures.
** Ignite
A Devil's mastery of fire as a fundamental force of Creation allows him to
inspire its existence at will. They may cause flammable objects to burst into
flames anywhere within a few yards of them. Gasoline, gunpowder and other
explosives are easy to ignite, metal would be extremely difficult. Water and
other strictly non-flammables can not be ignited. The fire produced is no
more intense than a natural flame.
Torment: Monstrous Devils are too fuelled by hatred to perform this evocation
with precision. All flammable objects within range are affected.
*** Command the Flame
The Devil's mastery of flame allows her to direct a fire by the force of her
will - the blaze swells, shrinks, moves and consumes all that she commands.
Torment: High-Torment Devils have less facility in controlling fire's movements,
but their rage increases the flames' intensity.
**** Holocaust
This evocation is the ultimate expression of the power of fire. It consumes
in order to make way for new life by transforming divine energy into cleansing
flames. The demon must physically touch her intended target to perform the
evocation. Not only does the victim take aggravated damage from the assault,
but they also lose Faith to the cleansing fire (or Blood Points, Gnosis, Pathos,
or whichever other "fuel" the creature runs on). This power may
also be used on physical objects, though most objects have no more than a
single point of Faith. Holy relics will likely have more. When an object (not
a living being) loses all points of Faith stored within it, it is reduced
to ashes, meaning this power can be used to burn objects apart at a much quicker
rate than a natural fire would.
Torment: Monstrous demons delight in feeding the cosmos to the flames. If
the demon burns off more points of Faith/Blood/Gnosis etc, than the victim
has, they begin to burn off their own Faith as well. Likewise, if the demon
causes more damage than the victim is capable of sustaining, then once then
victim is reduced to ashes the Devil will begin to burn herself as she loses
her focus in the ecstasy of destruction.
***** Ride the Flames
By performing this potent evocation, a Devil does not merely command the fire,
she is the fire, transforming her physical body into flame and directing it
by the power of her will. Upon evoking this power, a Devil has two options.
She can either join her essence with an existing blaze, or become a pillar
of fire by igniting her available Faith. In either case, the demon's body
literally transforms into flame, consuming her clothes and any possessions
she carried. Once transformed, the Devil is a formless mass that shifts size
and shape according to her will. She may effectively travel anywhere air can
go - under doors, through crevices, etc. If she lashes out at an opponent
in combat, she lashes out with the malice of her Torment (thus meaning low-Torment
demons will not find this an effective combat form. Also, note: this does
NOT burn off Torment points.). The fire of the character's body is unaffected
by water or other fire-suppression technology, as it is fuelled by faith instead
of a mere chemical reaction. The drawback to this condition is that the fire
must be fed continually by the character's willpower, or it dies out. The
obvious result for any more than a half a minute of using this power is total
mental exhaustion of the demon, as they are quickly run out of willpower.
If they do, or if they choose not to continue willing the fire to burn, the
character transforms back into her physical form. This also happens if, for
any reason, the fire shrinks to less than one square foot.
Torment: Monstrous demons are unable to fully realize the transformation into
flame. These fallen become fiery, skeletal figures instead, their blackened
bones wreathed with flame, and howling their rage and pain with tongues of
fire. They can move and attack as they could in their physical form, but cannot
move with the speed or ease of true, mutable flame. Furthermore, their bodies
are wracked with agony. If they do not inflict at least some damage or combust
material every few seconds, they suffer damage themselves as the fire feeds
upon their physical bodies.
The best idea upon seeing a monstrous demon evoke this, then, is to flee.
