Sartar actually had help from the Dwarves. Your proto-hero is welcome to approach Isidilian the Wise, the _Dwarf_ of Dragon Pass, for the secret of Lego (or whatever the power used). I strongly suspect Isidilian would make the proto-hero to undertake twelve quests before he will divulge the secret (he is afterall the epitome of the Openhandist Heresy, not the Emptyhanded Heresy).

What I meant was that if it did not feed regularly on fuel, it will starve and die out (like a normal animal does). I view it as requiring the same amount of 'fuel' as an equivalent animal its size although I think the priest would be able to feed it extra fuel, if he wants a big (intelligent) flame.
Casting an Extinguish at the Flame would be equivalent to casting Drain Soul at a human. I do not think casting Extinguish would kill it any more than a human affected by Drain Soul could be killed through loss of MP.
