Flaming is an elemental variation of the power of teleportation, allowing the user to teleport through a burst of flames. This ability is seemingly a rare advancement of pyrokinesis, blending the control of fire with spatial movement.
Overview[]
This form of teleportation involves the user being engulfed in flames, which serves as the medium for their disappearance and presumably their reappearance at another location. The flames appear intense but do not harm the user, instead functioning as a protective or transformative energy. As with most other methods of teleportation, it has been demonstrated that users can take at least one being along with them during the process, provided they maintain contact.
History[]
In "Keep Calm and Harry On", just as Maggie Vera and Harry Greenwood were taking their first steps to freedom from Tartarus, the demon Alastor arrived and was looking to retrieve his son, Hunter Caine, whom had also previously been trapped within the prison. Alastor finally introduced himself and taunted the Vera-Vaughn Charmed Ones before Macy Vaughn used her power to silence him by stabbing him in the forehead with a knife. However, the assault didn't do any real damage to him at all and only allowed him to reveal his true demonic form. The demon retaliated by attacking the sisters with his fire power, causing the three of them and Harry to take cover. The sisters were able to use the Power of Three to create a powerful force field, fending off Alastor and causing him to teleport away.
As the sky began raining blood and the last of the Elders was killed in "Red Rain", Alastor appeared on the front porch of the Vera Manor to abduct Maggie as she called out to Parker Caine. Mel Vera and Harry ran out onto the porch, but they were too late and Alastor teleported off with Maggie. As the two of them disappeared in a burst of flames, Maggie slung her magical staff out of her hand which was caught by Harry.

Trivia[]
- In the original series, Flaming was a commonly demonstrated power associated with high-ranking demons and other evil beings (such as Tempus, Barbas, Zankou, etc.). For instance, this power was displayed by those who assumed the mantle of the Source of All Evil or were closely tied to his heir.
- Interestingly, in the rebooted series, this power seems to be exceptionally rare, with the only known user being Alastor. Notably, no other powerful demons, including those who achieved the status of Demon Overlord, were shown utilizing this ability. Even Macy, who temporarily became the Source of All Evil and in fact became the highest among the demons, also never displayed this ability. While it is a possibility that she could have possessed the power, it should be noted that she never displayed any other pyrokinetic aspects, aside from incinerating Alastor while wielding the immense power of the Source.
- Although Alastor first demonstrated this ability in Keep Calm and Harry On, the full visual effect of his flaming teleportation was not revealed until Red Rain. This is because his initial use of the ability occurred during a battle with the Vera-Vaughn Charmed Ones, where the fiery effect of his teleportation was blended with the shimmering energy of their force field. In contrast, his second display of teleportation was performed in a more open and unobstructed manner, as he used it to taunt Mel and Harry while vanishing in a dramatic burst of intense fire with Maggie in tow.
- Since this fire-based method of teleportation is likely an advancement of pyrokinesis, it can be presumed that the ability is a purely demonic power in the reboot.
