Fire (element)

Fire is the second element controlled by one of the Guardians, specifically Taranee Cook and Halinor Clarkson.

The Element
Fire is one of the four classic elements along with earth, water and air, and is bound to the others through Quintessence. Although it is the fourth most powerful element, it is the most wild and indomitable, taking great sheer will and concentration just to control its weakest abilities.

Fire in W.I.T.C.H.
The element of Fire is controlled by Taranee Cook, one of the new Guardians. It it the fourth strongest element granted to a Guardian. Fire is an element that provides great offensive power, but little opportunities to defend oneself without causing collateral damage. Since a Guardian can only control fire, she would have no other choice in a dire situation to use that very same power to try and protect herself. For example: Taranee can create force fields, but these force fields would be created out of flame and/or heat energy. The probability that the heat from the shield would cause harm in a nearby area would be great.

Abilities
Often known as Pyrokinesis, the ability to excite the atoms within an object, possibly enough energy to ignite the object. A pyrokinetic is a person capable of generating flames from thin air, not requiring the consumption of oxygen or combustible objects to maintain the flames.
