History Main / ColdFlames

* In ''Manga/WitchHatAtelier'', cold flames that don't go out but produce light were a magical invention proposed to the council evaluating such devices before they're made publically available. They denied it, on the reasoning that children might play with it and learn that fire is harmless and can be touched.

* ''VideoGame/VermintideII'': When Sienna turns from [[PlayingWithFire Pyromancy]] to {{Necromanc|er}}y, her flames turn [[TechnicolorFlames blue-green]] and cold, burning slower, longer, and inflicting a DamageIncreasingDebuff.

* One Jack O'Lantern (who later became Hobgoblin), a recurring ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' villain, has flames all over his helmet, yet doesn't get burned due to the fire being a variant called "stage fire," which is used in theatrical productions to simulate flame. He also has an air-supply within the helmet -- separate from the fire's air supply -- that helps keep the helmet cool.

** Certain items and enemies inflict the Frostburn debuff, which reduces health over time and cancels health regen.

* When a [[LimitedUseMagicalDevice magic scroll]] is used in ''[[LightNovel/Overlord2012 Overlord]]'', it bursts into heatless flames.

Fire is hot--except for those occasions when it's not. Sometimes, one of the special properties of [[MagicFire magical]] or [[FauxFlame illusory fire]] is that it doesn't burn things, although, oddly enough, it may still require fuel. Sometimes, the non-burning property only applies to certain classes of objects, such as fire which doesn't burn people but will burn anything else, or fire which only burns living organisms. Typically the fire in question will be [[TechnicolorFire pale blue]] to indicate that it's cold rather than hot (although blue fire in real life is hotter than normal orange/yellow fire).

* Nepol in ''Series/{{Galidor}}'' uses a literal version to stay cool; as AnIcePerson, his temperature senses are inverted.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': There's a special Fire-Type attack called ''Will O' Wisp'', which doesn't do any damage but it inflicts a [[StatusEffects burn]] upon its target.

** Certain items and enemies inflict the Frostburn debuff, which reduces health overtime and cancels health regen.

* Verse 21:70 in the Literature/TheQuran says: "O Fire! Become cool and safe for Abraham!"

* Subverted with the Frozen Flame in ''VideoGame/ChronoCross''. While there are many different in-universe ideas of what this thing is, most people simply think it's some kind of cold fire, or fire trapped in ice (That has special powers). It's actually [[spoiler: a fragment of Lavos that survived its destruction after the events of the [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger previous game]]]].

* The seventh ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' sequel is subtitled "The Stone of Cold Fire", referring to a comet seen crashing by Littlefoot. A few characters believe it to be a legendary "Stone of Cold Fire" that would grant their finders special powers. When found, it just turns out to be a mere rock, though, as much as meteorites can be called mere.

** ''{{VideoGame/The Legend of Zelda Oracle|Games}} of Seasons'': the miniboss Frypolar uses the same flame-based sprite as it does in its fiery one, but recolored blue and themed around ice and cold.

* ''VideoGame/EldenRing'': Spiritflame arrows are lit with white flames that build up the frostbite status. Death Rite Birds (and their associated weapons) also use attacks that cause explosions and leave lingering flames that cause frostbite buildup.

* ''WesternAnimation/SecretMagicControlAgency'': In the pastry shop that Gretel and Hansel investigate, Hansel begins to feel chilly and sits in front of the fire to warm up. He quickly realises that the fire isn't producing any heat, and is the same as the cold fire he uses for his stage magic.
