Flames:-
From what Rex's knows the flame that are born between heaven and earth are divided into two types
These two types are 'Inborn' and 'Acquired'
As for the grades, all the flames are divided into three main grades
Monster Flame>>Essence Flame>>Karmic Flame
The grades of these flames are based on their strength and the difference in their kind
Lets start with the types of flame
When someone is born with a flame, mostly monster beast then that flame is their Inborn flame which means all the Monster Fire in the world are type of 'Inborn Flame' but only when these flame are within that monster beast but when they dies then their is a chance that the flame won't disappear for a while and in that time if someone refines that flame then it becomes the 'Acquired Flame' of the refiner
Acquired flame is basically a flame that the user obtains from outside their body
Inborn Flame becomes strong with their holder's cultivation base but Acquired Flames need to be cultivated, their user needs to provide them flame essence of other flames to make them strong and it takes a lot of effort and resources to do that, but we can also do the same thing with Inborn Flame to make it strong.. it means its not easy for a person with a small background to do cultivate a flame
All this also means that all 'Essence Flame' and 'Karmic Flame' that are born in nature are Acquired Flame
An Inborn Flame may become strong like them because of very high cultivation base of the user or because of user's efforts and resources that they spent on cultivating it but they will not be directly called Essence Flame or Karmic Flame
Instead they will be called 'Inborn Essence Flame' or 'Inborn Karmic Flame'
Normal Monster Flame, Essence Flame and Karmic flame also have their own ranking given by Alchemist Association and Artifact Association
Now one thing that should be remembered is it is difficult to refine a flame and as the ranking increases it becomes more difficult to refine a flame
The easiest flame to refine is a Monster Flame then comes Essence Flame and then Karmic Flame
Even if one can refine a flame they might spent years to just get some control over their flame whereas someone might gain very high control over their flame in just few days.. Its all about their compatibility with the flame
As for those who can refine more than one flame and use them can be defined as experts who's talent in flame cannot be described by just words
Monster, Essence and Karmic…..These flames are divided into three different grades because of their nature
Monster Flames is all about the flame with high temperature
Unlike Monster Flame.. Essence Flame can have an attribute in them example..
Poison + Flame = Poison Flame
It is not necessary that an Essence Flame always have an attribute but even if it does not.. the strength of Essence Flame can easily overpower a Monster Flame
But finding an Essence Flame is not so easy.. an Essence flame only born in places with high spiritual Qi or if a certain condition is met but one thing for sure it takes thousands of years for one Essence Flame to born
And the last one is Karmic Flame, the main thing that is different in this flame from other type of flames is that it has a will of its own
Or more like a type of consciousness like when the user wants it do something then it will do it on its own and not only that if the flame feels that someone is attacking its master then it will counter attack on its own as for the power of a Karmic Flame it doesn't even needs to be mentioned it can easily change the whole battlefield into a flame purgatory
But because of all this it is very hard to refine a Karmic Flame it cannot be refined by just using force or the flame would rather self destruct with the user who is trying to refine it than being forcibly refined due to its will
But the rarity of a Karmic Flame is more than ten times of an Essence Flame that's why if the news of a Karmic Flame being born leaks then it is something for which even the big shots in the Higher realm will move
There is one more important thing to remember once an 'Essence Flame' or a 'Karmic Flame' is fully merged with someone and that person has fully subdued the flame then that means that the flame has fully accepted the flame holder as its master then it means that the flame cannot be 'Separated' from its user anymore and even when the user will die the flame will disappear with the user
And Inborn flame is also like that because its born with someone and also fully accepts their user that's why it too can never be separated by its user
This rule is not applied to an Acquired Monster Flame
They are never fully merged with someone because they were an Inborn Flame just before becoming an Acquired Flame but if their strength increased and somehow they become an Essence Flame then they will go through a full transformation and can fully merge with the user
But its too hard and expensive to promote a flame's grade.. although its hard but people who can't subdue strong flame first subdue weak flames and promote them like that to get a strong flame… this is a method mostly used by rich second generation of big clans or people with high status because it not only increases their strength but also their fame after all it requires high mental strength, strong will and one have to go through intense pain for them to be able to refine a strong flame
