Description "Ghostfire"

CLASS: Bioconstruct

Created in ancient times to serve as both a light source and security system in subterranean places, the Ghoulantern is a vintage design that still serves its purpose well. The pale blue "flame" above its head is actually ice cold to the touch, and can ignite into a blinding explosion that instantaneously freezes all fluids and soft tissues in a five meter radius; a most effective means of apprehending intruders in its traditional line of work.

Despite the cold, a Ghoulantern's head is almost constantly melting away from its "fire" only to flow back up from the inside. Its dripping flesh is extremely slick to the touch, but it has no difficulty sticking fast to solid surfaces. It comes in many colors and sizes, but the traditional Ghoulantern is a pale, waxy yellow.

I'm reminded of the Candle Creeps from Might & Magic 3. (Probably because i just recently watched a playthrough of it) [link]

nice, i've got a candle monster too, still in re-designing though.

though how it melts from cold fire still gets me. but it's too cool to care about scientific details, none of my monsters are scientifically correct all the time, i chock it up to a fantasy world, it's magic... apparently.

I think of it more as alien physics, cause I don't have any magic in their world

ah ok. yeah i used to love magic, but now i seem to create magics that can be explained by science in my fantasy worlds. kinda like the stuff in full metal alchemist. but i've noticed all that would be magical in mortasheen has been replaced by psionics. like instead of making fire balls, they use pyrokenisis.

on another note. everyone uses the term pyrokenisis, what about our other elements?! like terrakenisis, hydrokenisis, or aerokenisis (i assume aero means air, you could use atmokenisis maybe)? or even the light and dark sides with photokenisis, and nyctokenisis!

sorry, i babble.

With dark being the absence of light, I think photokenisis would control both

true, but moving and living darkness is just a cool wicked idea. imagine pure dark just creeping along or being thrown at an enemy in fire ball fashion?! like maybe it eats light, dun dun duuuunnnn!
