#io's fire is fucking TOASTY yall

[incendiorum-arch]

          before I get further into how hot io can make there fire, here’s some quick facts to put it into perspective:

a campfire averages ~900F/480C. this, of course, can get much hotter depending on fuel and size.

bodies are cremated at about 1400-1600F/760-870C.

iron melts at 2800F/1538C. the melting point of steel varies depending on the type, but will melt around the same temperature.

3rd degree burns reach the fat layer, and require skin grafts. burns of a higher degree can reach bone and char the skin black.

         the heat of io’s fire is restricted by range and how much power io can pour into it. within the palm of their hands, io can manage upwards of 4000F/2204C. I would, perhaps, put the cutoff at about 4500F/2482C.

         within a five-foot radius, they can create fire at 3400-3800F/1871-2093C.

         within a 10-foot radius: 3000-3300F/1648-1815C.

         within a 25-foot radius: 2,500-2,900F/1371-1593C.

         the standard temperature (io’s either not trying, or their fire has grown so large they can’t feed it like they can smaller amounts) would be 1700-2000F/926-1093C.
