Fire is an Elemental path of magic. Among the four Elements, it governs plasma/flux and supports heat. Its kings govern fire's appearance and heat, with its burning nature having fallen to Death's hands.

Of the four Elements, Fire is the easiest to Evoke and the hardest to Alter. In Thaumaturgic tradition, the path is choleric, resembling a more-negative sort of activity. In the Way of Five Elements, it is dynamic and emotional.

Like Water, Fire remains mostly consistent across the three Ages, though not quite as so. The great Fire Mages of ancient times leave an indelible mark in the legends and psychology of Mankind, resulting in the path "spreading out" and being nurtured across the realms. God-like "firepower" is even present in the Late Ages, unlike with Air, Earth, Nature, and Glamour, though not right at the start of a Late-Age game.

Fire burns. It can do this in a variety of ways, however, and it does have a few tricks; these include bolstering Attack Skill and disorienting foes.

Fire is the element-of-choice for Fire's damaging spells, of which there are many. Fire is typically Armor-Piercing, so it ignores half of the target's Protection. Likewise, Fire Resistance may pose an issue, but it rarely comes in quantities needed to negate them.

The four Elements have a variety of checks and balances against each other, even against themselves. Likewise, Fire is rather-infamously countered by itself, Water, and Earth. Water in particular has counters for most of its tricks, including the infamous Rain; fortunately for Fire Mages, the counterspells are also largely negated in their countering, and Dominions 6 nerfed Rain quite a bit.
