Echta Zykla can manipulate fire by utilizing embers or sparks to ignite a larger flame. Alternatively, they can draw from an open-sourced flame; such as a match or fireplace. However, most Echta Zykla often carry flints with them to ensure they have a source.

An Echta Zykla can focus its bloodforce to assist in increasing the volume and intensity of the flame to create a stream of fire or manipulate it into a fireball. However, this takes a lot of practice and a great deal of concentration. The size of the flame will depend fully on how well the casting Zykla has mastered the fire element. Over time as they master their abilities, the creativity of their fire manipulation is almost endless.

After collecting a flame to bend, the casting Zykla can absorb the flame's energy to produce heat, either to warm themselves, another being, or a cold room.

Not only are they capable of manipulating their flames, but they are just as capable of extinguishing them as well. However, the greater the flame the more energy it'll take to reduce it to smoldering cinders.
Fire must be present in order to control & manipulate. Fire can not be created without an actual source: Fireplace, a match, a spark from flint rocks, etc.

STRENGTH: Summer months, Sunny days, Warmer climates, Any Eclipse.

Echta Zykla do better in warmer climates and during the day with Solis. Their abilities are amplified slightly, despite their level of mastery. But the added energy can most certainly be felt. Additionally, their abilities will be amplified during any eclipse.

WEAKNESS: Winter months, Rainy days, Cold climates

Extreme cold climates dampen their abilities slightly. However, it isn't unheard of for a clan of Tundra Zykla to have Echta Zykla within their ranks and thrive.

Playing with fire always runs a risk of getting burned. Should the Echta Zykla wield their flames for too long, they'll gradually start to feel the bite of the flame until it is smoldered or transferred to a source to burn. (Candle, Fireplace, etc.) [See maximum duration]
NOVICE
╭━━⋄✧✧⋄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╮
Novice Echta Zykla:
Coronado Makali Cyr'xa
╰━━━━━━━━━━━━⋄✧✧⋄━━╯

[Flame Colors: Red & Orange]

Novice abilities require the Echta Zykla to have access to an open flame. Example: Fireplace, brazier, candle, match.
They're currently unable to draw from embers or sparks from a flint stone.

Heated Touch:
After collecting a flame to manipulate, the casting Zykla can absorb the flame's heat into their palms, using it to heat their own body or provide warmth via contact with another. It has been known that Echta Zykla also use this ability to heat a chilled plate of food or warm a drink gone cold.
[Duration: 30 minutes.]

Fireball
A single flame large enough to fit into the Echta Zykla's palm, it need not stay there though! The flame can be used to hover around the casting Zykla for as long as their bloodforce reserves hold out or until they extinguish the flame. The flame can then be used to light a fire or launched at a target so long as it is within the Zykla's line of sight.
[Distance Length: 10 feet]

Firewall:
A circle of flames around the casting zykla with room for an additional body if needed. The flames do not wander, and rise high enough to ensure their protection covers the Zykla from head to foot.
[Duration: 10 minutes]

Smolder:
Echta Zykla can manipulate a flame to their will, but they are able to extinguish them as well. Small flames that have gone astray can be rendered to ash with a flick of their wrist so long as the Zykla is within 5 feet of the flame. The extinguished flame's heat will then be transferred to the Echta Zykla to use as they see fit.
