''Not to be confused with [[damnation]], which was previously known as hellfire.''

'''Fire''' is one of the most common elemental forces you will encounter as you explore the [[Dungeon]].

==Fire Damage==
Players have many ways to deal fire damage. [[Fire Magic]] is the most obvious, but you can also gain weapons of [[flaming]], or use a [[wand of flame]]. Followers of [[Qazlal]] gain fire through clouds, Upheaval, and Disaster Area.

Fire damage is reduced by fire resistance (rF+). All types of fire damage will negate the effects of the [[Icemail]] [[demonspawn mutation]]. Ranged attacks that are "BEAM_FIRE" (all [[Fire Magic]]; not including weapons of [[flaming]]) create [[LOS|sight-blocking]] [[steam]] clouds over [[water]]. Powerful fire attacks can light [[bush]]es and [[tree]]s on fire, creating [[Clouds#Spreading flames|spreading flames]].

==Fire Resistance==
The fire resistance intrinsic significantly reduces the fire damage a defender takes when attacked:

{| class="wikitable"
! Resistance Level !! Damage Taken (Player) !! Damage Taken (Monster)
|-
| rF+ || 50% || 50%
|-
| rF++ || 33% || 20%
|-
| rF+++ || 20% || 0%
|}

Having any level of fire resistance also gives [[steam resistance]].

You can acquire fire resistance from a number of sources:

'''Item'''
*[[Ring of protection from fire]] or [[ring of fire]]: rF+
*Armour of [[ego|fire resistance]]: rF+
*[[Fire dragon scales]]: rF++
*[[Gold dragon scales]]: rF+
*[[Potion of resistance]]: rF+, among other resistances
*[[Staff of fire]]: rF+
*[[Tiamat]]'s [[dragonskin cloak]]: for 50% of attacks, grants rF+
*[[Randart]]s: rF+, rF++ or rF+++

'''Character'''
*Being a red [[Draconian]]: rF+
*Being a [[Djinni]]: rF++
*[[Good mutations#Heat Resistance|Heat Resistance]] [[mutation]]: rF+/rank
*The third rank of the [[Good mutations#Molten Scales|Molten Scales]] mutation: rF+
*[[Dragon Form]] (except as a non-red draconian): rF++
*Worshipping [[Ignis]]: rF+

===Fire Vulnerability===
Fire vulnerability causes you to take x150% normal damage from most fire attacks, and x200% damage from fire melee attacks. You can acquire it by:

'''Item'''
*Wearing [[ice dragon scales]] or a [[ring of ice]]
*Wearing an artefact with rF- or the Ice property

'''Character'''
*Being a [[Mummy]]
*[[Ice Form]]
*The Fire Vulnerability [[mutation]].

'''Status'''
*Being hit by the [[Sword of Cerebov]]
*Being hit by a cherry [[Throw Klown Pie|klown pie]]

Having multiple levels of fire vulnerability does not cause greater damage; it simply makes it more difficult to acquire fire resistance.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.27]], fire damage would melt [[Ozocubu's Armour]].
*Prior to [[0.22]], [[Dithmenos]] worshippers were forbidden from using fire spells, the flaming brand, and anything that caused fire. Dithmenos also granted additional piety for killing fire enemies.
*Prior to [[0.19]], [[damnation]] was called [[hellfire]], and monster resistance to it also granted rF+++. Additionally, [[Dithmenos]] hated hellfire/damnation in addition to hating fire.
*Prior to [[0.15]], taking fire damage would also occasionally destroy [[scroll]]s in your [[inventory]].
