- Spellfire: A manifestation of raw magic that very few, random individuals have an ability to wield. Quite potent. More information about it, mechanically, can be found in the FRCS, and in Magic of Faerûn
- Silverfire: A manifestation of the raw Weave, wielded by Mystra's Chosen. It is quite versatile, but not as strong, in terms of raw power, as Spellfire.
- Moonfire: A manifestation of the blessings of Selûne, in the form of a heatless fire. It has the ability to create special items, such as Moon Salve. More information about it can be found in Magic of Faerûn.
- Darkfire: I don't believe that this is canon, but some believe that Shar's Chosen can wield "Darkfire", a Shadow Weave version of Silverfire. I believe that Ed has stated something to the contrary, however, on this matter.
From Ed:-
"Shar CAN grant her followers corrupted versions of the same powers Mystra gives, but darkfire and the like are mere shadows of Mystra’s boons, not equivalents. So, there’s no “dark” version of spellfire or the silver fire, despite the claims of Shar or her clergy to the contrary, just inferior unleashings."

In Hand of Fire, that Netherese ghost was able to absorb spellfire, but he himself admitted that he was incapable of doing the same to silver fire. I'd say that silver fire has the advantage, personally.

-Note that, regardless, I think Darkfire is a cool thing to have around. After all, Spellfire is simply a "refined" and "concentrated" form of Raw Magic. Silverfire is simply a "refined" and "concentrated" form of Weave Magic. There's no reason to say that Darkfire isn't a "refined" and "concentrated" form of Shadow Weave Magic.
In the Lady P Novels. Vhaeraun's clerics had a Darkfire, I guessed it to be something that is similiar to Slune's Moonfire... hmmm Maybe.
-Darkbolt is a Clerical spell, that a Cleric of Vhaeraun would no doubt have prepared.
This could be something that every deity may grant, a raw blast of energy to the chosen few for times of trouble or something. Would make since to me that it could happen. Any thoughts...
-Why would, say, Eldath, grand her Chosen the ability to release a blast of magical energy? Asides for being pacifistic, she has no inherent connections to magic, or the Weave. Or Tempus? Or Gruumsh? And so on.
-Mystra is the Weave, to explain Silverfire, and, should one want Darkfire, Shar is the steward of the Shadow Weave.
aww I see what u mean... got it
-There are plenty of non-official Chosen templates. There's a thread around here somewhere, filled with them. Most people choose an element the deity in question has soverignty over, and then expand on that. For example, Torm is the deity of Paladins. A Chosen of Torm would have some kind of special ability related to that. Perhaps Holy Word, or something to that effect. A Chosen of Sune? Maybe the ability to Charm people at will.
