Similarly, in order for there to be free chlorine or fluorine on Avalon, you'd need some sort of large-scale (most likely biological) process that constantly produces it. That's also why astronomers look for oxygen on exoplanets-if there's a lot of free oxygen, there's something alive on the planet producing it. The only reason we have so much free oxygen in our atmosphere is because plants are constantly pumping it out when they respirate.

They are by nature very reactive (which is why they burn), so any free oxidizers quickly react with other things to form more stable molecules. What I do know about oxidizers is they don't stick around for very long. See, now we're getting deeper into molecular chemistry than my knowledge reaches. One should be capable of looking up a list of oxidizers and go from there. Then to pump it into an airtight chamber full of flammable material and to have a crucible directly above that. Maybe using some sort of process to remove chlorine from salt.

Theoretically they could use something like chlorine or maybe even fluorine as an oxidizer. (03-18-2016, 07:51 PM)RobinhoodtheFletchling Wrote: The thing with fire is that it does require oxygen specifically, it requires an oxidizer.
