In this stage they're small, usually the size of a candle (they can be hold in the palm of the hand). The main reason for them to assume this stage is the fatigue, for example. when they spend too much energy and get exhausted or to scape/hide. This is their weakest form and their usage of magic is very limited

Specialities/Fields: 

There're 3 main fields for a Candle Witches' magic abilities:

Knight: 

> Candle Witches in the "Knight" field are the strongest at performing physical attacks and offensive magic

Bastion:

> Candle Witches in the "Bastion" field are the best to perform deffensive magic such as shields, barriers, barricades, etc

Healer:

> Candle Witches in the "Healer" field are the best at performing curative and energy recovery magic, they're also the only field that can lift curses and spells

Fields and Fire Types

All Candle Witches can perform magic from all of the fields, however to level of dexterity on each field depends on their fire condition:

> One-Colored Fire: can specialize in only one field. High skill level in one field but average/low level in the other fields
> One-Colored Fire with "Split" tail mutation: can specialize in only one field. High skill level in one field, medium level in a second field and average /low level in the third field

> Two-Colored Fire: can specialize in two fields. High skill level in one field, medium level in the second field and average/low level in the third field
>Two-Colored Fire with "Split" tail mutation: can specialize in two fields. High skill level in two fields, medium level in the third field
 
> Three-Colored Fire: can specialize in all three fields. High skill level in two fields, medium level in the third field
>Two-Colored Fire with "Split" tail mutation: can specialize in three fields. High skill level in three fields

However to specialize in one field takes years of practice and it's a hard work so being able to dominate even one field is already a great achievement. Also, abilities that don't fit into one field category can be learned for any Candle Witch at the same level of dexterity (for example: Illusionism and Conventional Magic)

About the "Split Tail" mutation and the dexterity on the fields:

The reason why Candle Witches with the "Split Tail" mutation are better at performing in fields is because they can split the magic properties of their fire and assign to each part an specific field thus it's easier for them to manage them

SUB-SPECIES:

SMOKE WITCH

They're Candle Witches whose fire has mutated into a type of smoke, this smoke have similar properties to the Candle Witches' fire but it acts somewhat different. Smoke Witches are born as Candle Witches but a mutation makes their fire to start to become some sort of smoke with the time, for most of them this transformation is definitive though some of them are able of switching between fire and smoke with the use of their magic. Some information about their smoke:

> Smoke is a general term, it's not limited to only smoke but also steam, mist, fog, freezing fog, etc

> The smoke, just like the Candle Witches' fire, is not harmful unless the owner wants it to be

> There're three types of smoke, hot steam (common), freezing fog (uncommon) and poisonous mist (rare). Smoke Witches with hot steam are capable of change the temperature of their smoke to be hot while Smoke Witches with freezing fog are capable of change the temperature of their smoke to be cold, however, Hot Steam can't be turned into Freezing Fog and viceversa. The Poisonous Mist is a rare type of smoke that some Smoke witches have developed with the use of magic, just like its name indicates, it is poisonous for the people who enter in contact with it. Smoke Witches with poisonous mist have lost the ability to change the temperature of their smoke due to the use of magic so this smoke doesn't feel hot or cold, and the only way for it to harm others is due to their poisonous properties, either by being inhaled or absorbed by the victim

> The smoke is not hot enough to incinerate things (unlike Candle Witches' fire), but it may cause some burnings (or frostbite) in those who enter in contact with it as long as the Smoke Witch means to harm the person

> Smoke Witches can use their smoke to create dense mist and fog that can be used for hidding purposes, some of them can even turn themselves into smoke/mist

> Smoke Witches share the feral body types with Candle Witches but they have smoke instead of fire

> Under normal circumstances their smoke have no scent, though it may adquire an scent if the Smoke Witch wants, though there may be unintentional changes according to their mood. When they are happy their smoke have a sweet pleasant scent, when they're sad the scent is bitter, when they're angry the scent is like burned fuel and when they're in love it have a perfume scent

> Smoke Witches' smoke shares the color rarity with Candle Witches' fire
