Fire

A hot gas that cooks food, burns plants, and is dangerous to touch. Humans have been using fire for longer than most people can count, making it man's second-best friend next to dogs. The forces of fire are mainly only used for destructive purposes. Fire is used to burn obstacles in the way, burn flammable objects, and make seeing possible in darkness.

Its resistances and weaknesses
Fire is strong against just as many things as it's weak to. Fire is strong against dry materials like cardboard, paper, and plants as they would burn upon contact with it. With wind, it depends on the strength of the gust and the size of the flame to determine if the fire would be strong or weak against it. Either the wind helps the fire spread or it extinguishes it in seconds.

Fire is weak to water and dirt as it would be extinguished by either if they're thrown on it. Fire cannot burn stone or metal instantly like how it can with paper, but it could melt both if the fire is hot enough and its target is exposed to it for a long duration.

Literature
Fire is a symbol of passion, rebirth, energy, life, and power in literature. A phoenix is a legendary fiery bird in literature and other fiction that can be reborn from the ashes of the phoenix before it, starting the cycle of phoenixation anew.
