No idea. He tends to do his own thing from what little I know of him, so he probly had some kind of reason.

[And hey, when Axel suggested putting his name up on the door, he was being serious. At least it'll let everybody know the room is claimed.]

Yep. Only fire-related magic though. As for not having seen it used that way before, well, when you're kind of a one trick pony magic-wise, it encourages you to get creative. You oughta see me juggle fireballs or make fire-animals sometime. Not much good for anything besides entertainment, but it's good practice for getting proper control down.

And control is the most important thing about dealing with fire magic, as I found out the hard way. I was why the Organization couldn't have nice things back when I was still getting used to my abilities. Not to mention, I went through at least half a dozen sets of scorched bedsheets from doing accidental magic in my sleep before I found some that were fire-resistant. Good thing a talent for fire-magic comes with being immune to it yourself, or I'd have given myself some very rude awakenings.
