#Sacred fire 5e series
Allegedly with R'hllor's help, the Red Priests shown in the series have been able to perform supernatural feats yet unmatched by any septon or septa note priests of the Seven, the major religion in Westeros, such as seeing into the future and bringing people Back from the Dead. A Song of Ice and Fire: Sacred flames are par for the course for priests of R'hllor, an in-universe deity associated with fire and life.It probes the soul of all who enter its flames, and destroys anyone in which it detects sin or evil. The Purifying Fire: The titular Fire is a constant font of pure White mana found on the plane of Regatha.In High School Dx D, both the Archangel Uriel and the wielders of the Longinus-class Sacred Gear Incinerate Anthem can create and manipulate Holy Fire, an extremely powerful substance that can severely wound even Satan-class devils.Heralds of Valdemar: In the Mage Storms trilogy, a sacred fire is lit on the altars of Vkandis (supposedly by the god, but corrupt priests used a fire-starting spell instead) as part of the winter solstice ceremony.The power to use it can only be divinely granted and it uses up some of your soul every time you use it (it does grow back though), but it works really well for smiting the unholy.
In The Dresden Files, Soulfire is the holy counterpart to Hellfire.Another character kindles a sacred fire to burn the tie away - when the torch gets close to the astral form of the tie, it intensifies to near-blowtorch levels. Diana Tregarde: At one point in Burning Water, a minor character is under a mind-control spell cast using Sympathetic Magic.The priests tending it have a mechanism that can cause it to flare up and change colour, in case they need to stage a "miracle". In Black Friar of the Flame by Isaac Asimov, the people of Earth, under occupation by alien conquerors, have a sacred flame that symbolises the human spirit.Can be the purview of a God of Fire if their flames have holy properties. The Phoenix is closely associated with this trope, as are fire-breathing examples of Dragons Are Divine. Compare Fanatical Fire, The Flame of Life, and Heal It With Fire. The (unholy) inversion of Sacred Flames is Hellfire. If a weapon is Forged by the Gods, this type of flame may be used in the forging process. Another property might be that these flames don't burn the faithful, or just don't burn in general. They may happen to be a type of eternal flame, constantly burning whether through magical or mundane means, but this isn't required. One of the powers of Sacred Flames will often be Fire Purifies, as a literalization of Holy Burns Evil or to Burn the Undead. It is possible to have multiple types of Sacred Flame within a setting, or Sacred Flame as well as mundane magical fire (or just plain mundane fire). This covers all forms of fire which are magic or otherwise important because they are religious or otherwise related to the divine in nature. But another form it can take is to have their worshippers be able to wield their fire as a magical weapon, among other uses. If you have a God of Fire and/or the sun, you could leave the fire associated with them completely normal - holy only as a symbol.
