The Second Flame is the Leader Flame of the Dying Will Flames of Math and so is analogous to the Sky Flame.
Appearance[]
Second Flames are easily identified by their black flames with a white core when produced from a ring, these black flames have no special properties compared to other flames in this state, they aren't even hot.
Since they are Math Flames, the Second Flames have a true form that when released allows them to rearrange themselves into chain like shapes.
Characteristics[]
True Form[]
Like other Math Flames the Second Flame has a true form, namely in the shape of black chains. These black chains appear to be extremely durable and capable of repairing themselves if not outright destroyed as they slowly revert themselves to an undamaged state. The flames in their chain form can be manipulated freely by advanced users.
Rewind[]
The special characteristic of the second flame is quite simply the ability to rewind time, the extent of which and the area of the effect is directly related to the amount of flames the user can create. While it may appear like an omnipotent power users of these flames will find that the power is extremely energy inefficient and restricted by their total flame output since rewinding time effectively consumes flames that could be used in the form of chains.
The ability to rewind time is incredibly powerful defensively since it allows one to effectively negate an attack but this rewind isn't perfect. Namely the user needs to have the flames covering everything the user wishes to rewind back, making it utterly useless for crowd control if the user can't make contact with the opponent using the flames.
The ability to rewind can be localized and made to act in only one aspect of spacetime, what this means is that the Second Flame is capable of rewinding time on an entity without causing it to move back through space as well just as easily as it can rewind its time and location, however doing both is more "flame demanding".
Special Box Weapon Interaction[]
An interesting property of the Second Flames is that when they are applied to box weapons their time rewinding powers makes it so the box turns back into a time where it was opened, probably during testing if it's brand new, allowing it to open any Box Weapon in a manner similar to but distinct of the Sky Flames.
Uses[]
Outside of active combat the flames can be localized and reverted to their flame form to rewind time solely in a small part of a body as a means of "healing" that part, this application is much more energy efficient comparatively. The flames can also be applied to objects to rewind them back in both time and space to an earlier location for a myriad of purposes.
Similarly it is possible for the user to rewind time solely for themselves without affecting the opponent in any way, this trick is used by more advanced users and it proves more energy efficient. When time is rewound only for the user they do not experience information loss but they lose the ability to "reposition" their opponents back and they don't heal from this either, they are merely teleported back to an earlier position.
Additionally the Second Flames in their true form can be manipulated by the user, allowing them to use the chains for a variety of purposes including offense, defense, utility, crowd control, communication, among other things.
Trivia[]
- Second Flames are the Math Flames equivalent of the Sky Flames as they deal with time and are able to activate the box weapons of any other math flame.
