Ember: Difference between revisions

'''Embers''' are entities made entirely of flame, much like [[Lava Bubble|Lava Bubbles]] – the only differences being its blue color, [[Heart Point|HP]], and attack power. Embers appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' on [[Star Way]], and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' in [[Pirate's Grotto]]. In ''Paper Mario'', Embers can attack Mario by jumping on him or they can attack Mario's partner to [[Injured|cost them a few turns]] unless they block the attack. Also, using a fire attack against against an Ember makes it heal, and sometimes split into more Embers. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Embers are prominently featured in Chapter 5, where [[Cortez]] has an army of them that attacks [[Flavio]]'s [[S.S. Flavion|ship]], and later [[Lord Crump]]'s [[X-Ship|ship]]. Their initial appearance in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door'', as well as their Japanese and French names, allude to the {{wp|St. Elmo's fire|St. Elmo's fire}} phenomenon, as the Embers appear on the S.S. Flavion under similar weather conditions. After Chapter 5, the only Embers that can still be viewed and battled remain in [[Pirate's Grotto]]. Embers are most likely based on the [[wikipedia:hitodama|hitodama]], an entity in Japanese folklore said to be the comprised of the souls of the dead.
