Holy Fire Manipulation

Sailor Mars is a shrine maiden that uses holy fires to purify evil spirits

Background

Holy Fire Manipulation is the ability to create, shape, and control the divine flames that represent purity, righteousness, and spiritual power. These flames are not simply physical fire; they are symbolic and metaphysical, burning away evil and corruption in individuals or environments. Unlike regular fire, Holy Fire does not cause destruction through heat, but instead purifies, cleanses, and reveals the truth. The power to wield Holy Fire is closely linked to divinity and can be used to purify evil, negate regenerative abilities tied to malevolent forces, and even alter reality in a holy and spiritual sense.

The flames of Holy Fire are not mere heat but divine energy with a multitude of effects, ranging from purification to dimensional travel. It represents the purest form of fire, focused on spiritual effects rather than physical damage. Those with a Pure Heart are immune to the burning effects, as they lack the corruption that Holy Fire seeks to eliminate.
