A tiny fire spirit that dwells within dying embers. Appearing as a palm-sized winged humanoid scattering faint orange sparks, it is most potent in the final moments before a flame goes out entirely. More expressive than a Salamander, though still of low intelligence.
Origin
Rooted in Celtic folk belief, where sprites were said to inhabit the sacred embers of the hearth. They were considered small guardians of the holy flame โ disturbing the hearth carelessly was thought to anger them.
Features
- Palm-sized winged humanoid, scatters ashen fire-sparks continuously
- Regenerates from dying embers; energy peaks just before total extinction
- Groups of sprites produce faint illumination useful for underground exploration
- Detects heat sources better than visible flames โ useful for finding hidden traps or magic heat
Usage
Heat-source detection in caves and mines, faint light source for night patrols. Commonly used as a hearth guardian.
Weakness
Dispersed not only by water but also by strong winds. Fades and loses functionality near large open flames.
