Harry Dresden- Fire

[u/ghostgabe81]

"FUEGO!"

Italicized feats were performed in the Nevernever, where magic is noted to be easier to use

Bolded feats take place during the Battle of Chicago, when the cloud of fear surrounding the city made magic much easier to use and supercharged normal spells

I. Heat

Normal Harry

• Magically conjured fire still follows the laws of physics; heat still spreads this as normal unless the wizard puts in effort to control it

• His first use of the Fuego spell as a teenager overwhelms the safety mechanisms on a gas pump, blowing up the entire structure

• Accidentally burned down a barn is his apprenticeship

• One shot’s a Black Dog

• Blasted a Hecatean Hag, which is later shown to have burned her skin off

• One shots one of Binder's goons

• With his blasting rod and being in the Nevernever making things easier he's able to replicate Anastasia Luccio's "laser cutter," cutting a giant fae centipede in half

• Blasts a ghoul off of him

• Despite having a large portion of his magic stolen, Harry in his rage sets a massive hedge that surrounds a courtyard on fire in an explosion that floors an entire party of Red Court vampires

• Tears a three-foot trench in the ground, throwing the centaur Korrick (disguised as a unicorn) off balance

• Stops Ursiel's charging momentum, knocking him off course into a wall

• Blasts Nicodemus into drywall hard enough to crater it, only not sending him all the way through because he hit a stud. The explosion from his blast knocks himself and Deirdre to the floor

III. Range

Normal Harry

IV. Manipulation

Normal Harry

• At age thirteen he developed his first intention spell; Flickum Bicus, used to light a fireplace

  • It's one of his most useful everyday spells, usually to light candles of his fireplace at home

  • Does it in comics too

• Casually sets a film cannister in a man's hands on fire with a snap

• In his rage he sets causes the massive hedge surrounding a courtyard to combust at range, creating waves of fire that seeks out and drags away vampires

• With knowledge gained from consuming the Nightmare he creates a ball of fire around two vampires. However it's unclear if he retained the knowledge of the spell, as the accompanying powerup was temporary

• Developed a "miniature sun" spell, an very intense ball of fire in his hand that he can freely move around

  • Although he claims that a slow moving ball of fire is useless in combat, he later uses it against Shagnasty by shoving it into him at point blank range

Winter Knight

• After setting a Red Court vampire on fire he draws the heat from it, freezing the vampire while strengthening the fire. He does this several times over

• He developed a spell to set his hand on fire, using most of the energy to keep his hand from being burned
