I've never been an anne rice fan at all for various reasons, but I always
took it that when Van Gelda talks about vampires having control over the
elements, ---- this could include the element of fire!
In fact in white wolf's world of darkness vampire roleplay system, elemental
control is in there too as a standard vampire power with fireball throwing
at higher levels.
this also has fun powers like various sorts of mental domination, control
over shadows and teleportation.
Beware the grue!

Hi Bryan,
<Smile> That would be Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice. According to that
book Akasha was the very first vampire, because she was the one the demon
took over after what she did to marharet and Mekare. Anyway, that has
little to do with my game idea though.
One thing that book did do, however, is establish the fact that very old
and very strong vampires can throw fireballs. In the Castlevania games
Dracula's main attack was by throwing fireballs. At the time I thought
that was rather odd, not a true vampire gift, but according to Anne Rice's
books it is a part of vampire lore. So including that special gift in my
own game wouldn't be that odd after all.

during her mortal life and assumed the same position when she became a
vampire because if memory serves she was one of the very first.
