[@Hayazo]: My issue is more with the fact that she decided to make the snap decision to just kill the offender, but fair's fair.

The problem I have with waterwalking is that it also limits my ability to set up scenarios for the RPers. It had the possibility of limiting what I can do without trivializing stuff, so it's problematic.

Well, when you said 'control' I assumed something along the lines of firing off the fire like bullets at something, tbh. Fire is fire, after all, and even if the bullets don't kill something, the residual fire, smoke, and chaos might.
Fire fists is okay though.

Edit: Oh, shoot. Forgot Zapdos.
Look, humans can be just as useful because they have the wonders of technology. Don't worry about not being strong enough, because everyone will have something to contribute.
Hopefully.
