Only the uninitiated call it fire manipulation.
They want the magic, the transformation, the illumination—but they are unwilling to burn. Unwilling to bleed for what they were meant to become, unwilling to suffer for what they are destined to embody.
The flame does not bend for desire alone. It does not dance for those unwilling to step fully into its heat. Initiation is a crucible. To call yourself alchemist of the spirit without offering your own blood, sweat, and shadow is to mistake performance for power.
True power comes through the fire. Through the surrender. Through the willing bleed. Only those who endure the burn, who face themselves in the blaze, can claim the magic as their own.
