Flaemis is likely based on Fire Elementals, elementals formed from the element of fire, or spirits of fire. A Fire Elemental controls one of the four prime elements that compose the world. It is a fusion composed of "dryness" and "heat" essences. The ancient Greek concepts of the four basic elements significantly influenced early astrology.
It is said that every flame contains an Fire Elemental, who feeds the flame with its breath. They also dwell in places with heat, like a lamplight.
"Origin: Worldwide. A fire spirit. It's said that Flaemis dwells in small lamplights."
