Fire Purifies	comment	Fire in some works has the ability to burn away imperfections and evil. It burns up evil or evil-associated creatures, such as demons and the undead, entirely, and it works more effectively against those beings than most weapons or attacks would. It can also sometimes burn away only the evil parts, leaving any pure or good parts unharmed. In such cases, it is useful for de-possessing hapless creatures who have been possessed by evil beings. This ability draws on fire's association with life and its ability to burn impurities out of metal as well as the ability of hot objects to kill bacteria and decompose poisons; combining these ideas to create a force against evil. This will often be a form of magic fire, but sometimes all fire will have this property. In some settings, the characters will believe that fire has this property, and act accordingly, even though fire does not actually have any extra powers against evil. This may be a reason why Fire Keeps It Dead, the trope for where burning a body prevents it from coming back to life. Supertrope to Burn the Undead, which is where the purifying powers of fire cause the undead to be vulnerable to destruction by fire. Compare Heal It With Fire. Often associated with Sacred Flames. If the purification has to do with the magical properties of the fire, then it's an example of Magic Fire.

Fire Purifies / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Used classically straight when dealing with green slime. Fire is one of the few things that will kill it, and burning it off while it's still busily trying to turn your comrade's flesh into more green slime is about the only way to save them if you don't have just the right healing spell handy at the moment. This is the flavor behind various fire-dealing Divine spells in Fourth Edition, which in turn grew out of the Cleric's unique offensive spell flame strike, which has been around since the beginning of D&D. This, in a nutshell, is the Circle of Wildfire Druid's shtick in 5th edition. Along with a suite of fire spells like burning hands, scorching ray, and flame strike, the subclass gets bonus spells that are themed around healing and growth (cure wounds, revivify, plant growth) and the ability to conjure a Wildfire Spirit that can either heal allies or harm foes. The flavor text emphasizes that wildfires are a healthy part of the natural order, scouring the land clean to make way for new growth. In the Nentir Vale setting, this is the philosophy of the more benign Wildfire Dragons, which are dragons that have been warped by powerful magic until they are literally just living masses of flame in the vague shape of dragons.

It can burn away the impurities and imperfections of any living being, but the process of doing so is lethal. The Spear does not care that purifying things destroys them (as one character says, patience is not one of its virtues), so it's a good thing that the Spear can't throw itself.

Fire Purifies / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Among the Imperial forces, flamers are usually seen as a good metaphor for purifying the God-Emperor's enemies. Sisters of Battle take it even further, with most squads wielding flamers or wearing hats that are on fire. Not to mention virus bombing (which basically converts a large proportion of the planet's surface into fuel and strikes a match). The incinerators flamers used by the daemon hunting Grey Knights enhance the widely held belief in the purifying effects of fire with the addition of sacred oils to its already highly blessed fuel to make them especially dangerous to the Chapter's daemonic enemies. Some editions of the rules represented this by giving incinerators bonuses such as the ability to ignore the invulnerable saves of daemonic creatures. It's also effective when dealing with Orks for more practical reasons; they're fungus-based lifeforms which release spores (which eventually grow into new orks). Burning them helps prevent them reinfecting planets they've attacked. The Emperor's powers themselves typically manifested as ethereal fire, potent enough to permanently kill the otherwise-immortal Chaos daemons and Daemon Princes while also cleansing Chaos corruption, something almost no other psychic in the setting was or is able to do.

Fire Purifies / int_d77e9e33	comment	Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator serves as a Grand Finale of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise. In its true ending, earned by salvaging all four of the scrapped animatronics, you listen to a message from the Cassette Guy who hired you directed to both yourself and the animatronics. As he speaks of finally ending the nightmare once and for all, images are shown of Scrap Baby, Molten Freddy, and Springtrap burning, with particular malice directed from the Cassette Guy to Springtrap. The obvious intent is to destroy everything beyond hope of recovery and finally put all the lost souls involved to rest. The Insanity Ending also provides an explanation as to why â€œFire Purifiesâ€�: the souls are bound to the animatronics (or, in one case, an empty skinsuit) by a substance called â€œremnantâ€�. This substance breaks down at high temperatures, meaning fire is truly the only way to â€œpurifyâ€�.

Giants are immune to damage from fire, but still feel pain equivalent to burning when exposed; they use this pain to "burn" away guilt, anger, grief, and other extremes of harmful emotion. They've become psychologically dependent on the caamora, to the point where they will suffer mentally if they are unable to purge their pain in this fashion. Even the ghosts of the Giants of Seareach were unable to fully rest in peace for centuries until Covenant uses his ring to provide a caamora of mystic flame to ease the horror of their slaughter.
