Flame genie is living flame given a proud and knowing shape. A Pyre summoning, Summon flame genie, calls it out of the Welter, and Pyre, the affinity of fire, holds it together. It is quick, it strikes true from afar with fire and then with raw power, and soldiers who face it often find their courage failing before the first blow lands.
Mana sustains it, like any summoned shape. Unlike most, it also wants geld. Pyre cultivators explain this with a shrug: a fire that is not fed goes out, and the genie counts gold as fuel as surely as mana. Withdraw the mana and it gutters out. Its lord may do so at any time.
Those who keep one learn to pay on time, and to speak to it politely.
