Combustion - Winter Heat

The Eridians have clearly been working metal for a long time. You need fire to work metal. How did they start making fire, when their atmosphere doesn’t have oxygen?

Yes, you can have fire without oxygen. You can use halogens as oxidizers for combustion reactions. Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine. A wax candle will burn in chlorine gas.

But… if they had oxidizers like that floating around in their atmosphere, wouldn’t they catch on fire? The oxygen in Earth air already had Rocky smoking (his hot circulatory system runs at 305°C). And at 29 times earth pressure, it would just get worse (more molecules of oxidizer in the same volume), wouldn’t it?

I’m trying to figure out a cool answer for how they could make fire while not catching on fire themselves. And my chemistry knowledge is Just Not Good Enough.

I did Ming-Hua, so naturally P'li was next!!

My Ming-Hua art didn't get many notes, so maybe I have to play the I'm 14 years old card cause I really want some notes ahahaha

Here's my Ming-Hua one btw!!

Let something soak in it, and it's more relaxed? And pliable? So nice....

But you know what happens when hay gets wet?

It becomes more

HAY BECOMES MORE FLAMMABLE

I don't know how it's possible

But when hay is wet it's

(hydro geo and pyro go by the same rules as atla, with the sub elements)
