    Punch (10): thrust 1d burning (KYOS: 1d+2 burning), Reach C-1.
    Burn: Intense flames permanently surround the fire weird. These flames do 1d burning damage to anyone who touches it or who it touches.
    Innate Spellcasting: Only fire and knowledge spells. Improvisation up to 8 points, hardcore improvisation up to 63 points. Typically, a weird knows the Divination spell (GURPS Thaumatology: Sorcery, page 19) and the Control Elemental spell for its native element.
    Fire Pool: A fire weird dwells within a large pool filled with dancing flames. The pool must be at least 16 yards across and 6 yards deep. A fire weird’s pool may be affixed only to a horizontal surface, and it may appear only in a right side up position (such as in the floor of a cavern). The surface must have sufficient depth to accommodate the pool. An elemental pool can also exist as a separate area inside a larger volume of the same element. Creatures without the ability to fly cannot move through this pool, except by falling.
    The base of the pool contains a portal to the weird’s native plane. Three times per day, the weird can summon elemental allies through this portal, as if casting Summon Fire Elemental, but summoning a group of up to ten elementals each worth up to 25% of the weird’s point value and with no preparation.
    Any nonelemental creature entering a pool without the weird’s permission must win in a Quick Contest of Will with the weird each second or be irrevocably transformed into the elemental material of the pool. In addition, each such creature in the pool is dealt 1d burning damage every second. Creatures granted access to the pool by the weird are not subject to transformation or damage. However, creatures allowed to enter a pool must still provide their own protection from the elemental material, as well as the means to breathe and move within that enviroment.
    A weird is physically tied to its pool and cannot leave except to return to its native plane through the portal. A weird may rise up to its height above the surface of its pool, but the lower part of its body must always remain in contact with the elemental material. Once a weird exits the pool for its native plane, the portal closes, and the pool loses its special effects. Opening the portal works identically to the Create Planar Gate spell.
    Tongues: Aside from the languages the weird knows, it has one slot that it can fill with any spoken language that is not “secret” or “lost” at the Native comprehension level by taking a Ready maneuver.

    Traits: Appearance (Beautiful; Universal); Dark Vision; Doesn’t Breathe (Oxygen Combustion); Doesn’t Eat or Drink; Doesn’t Sleep; Flight (Lighter Than Air); Illumination; Immunity to Metabolic Hazards; Immunity to Noxious Fire Effects; Injury Tolerance (Diffuse); Magic Resistance 3 (Improved); No Fine Manipulators; No Legs (Aerial); Unaging; Vulnerability (Cold, x2); Weakness (Water; 1d/min).
    Skills: Diplomacy-20; Expert Skill (Any)-20; Hidden Lore (Any)-20.
    Notes: Height 10 ft., Weight 5 lb.
    Creature Type: Elemental (Fire).
