* {{Avatar: the last airbender}}'s Azula shoots blue fire, fitting of her cold personality.

* In Discworld/ThiefOfTime, [[spoiler: Kaos]] has a sword which generates ColdFlames. Literally. The flames in question ''freeze the air''.

* In ''Quest for the Fallen Star'', [[TheForce Earthpower]] manifests itself as green flames (or [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience yellow ones]], if [[EldritchAbomination Ill-creatures]] are using it. Subverted in that these can actually set stuff on fire.

* In DGrayMan one akuma had the ability to shoot ice fire, which it used to trap Allen when he and Lenalee were fighting against him and 2 other akuma in an alleyway.

* ''{{Orpheus}}'' gives us the Wisps, ghosts/projectors who have the innate ability to produce ghostly flames. Not only do they do a number on ghosts, they can also be used to distract mortals.

** ''shivering Isles'' gives us The Cold Flame of Agnon, a mystic orange and green fire that can be litterally ''worn'', is kindled by the willing self-sacrifice of two Daedra and is used to light the Great Torch of New Sheoth.

Also known as Marsh Lights, Fox Fire, GhostLights, WillOTheWisp and Ignis Fatuus, these are illusionary flames created by the supernatural, or are themselves a supernatural being like a [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Ghosts]] or TheFairFolk. Living characters like illusionists, spiritualists and even {{Kung Fu Magic}}ians can create Cold Flames through SoulPower or illusions, or by using ElementalPowers like [[AnIcePerson Ice]] to create literal Cold Flames.

Visually, it's going to be a TechnicolorFire that isn't red-orange-yellow, usually blue or white. It usually also has other, ''spooooky'' supernatural properties. Since it doesn't need a conventional fuel source, it can float around of its own accord, acting as a guide (or to get people lost) or as a GuardianEntity. Magicians may change the "fuel source" to something like poisons and use it to "burn them away", healing patients. In combat, the caster might make allies FriendlyFireProof by choosing whom it burns, which of course means that casters will [[WreathedInFlames wreath themselves in flame]] to look cool.

It looks life fire because that's what the MasterOfIllusion ''wants'' you to see. Despite crackling, it consumes no air, burns no fuel, and creates no smoke. If it generates heat or burns victims, it's because YourMindMakesItReal. Even if it can incinerate a chair, it rarely spreads to the rest of the room. It probably deals less damage than straight up [[PlayingWithFire pyrokinesis]] too, though it can [[NonElemental likely bypass]] resistances to fire. And a quick TapOnTheHead to the creator likely [[NoOntologicalInertia puts them all out]].

* ''SaintSeiyaTheLostCanvas'' has Ignis Fatuus as an attack for the Cancer Saint, who appropriately enough uses SoulPower to create "soul flames" (or something, the translation I'm reading is a bit sketchy on those details).

* The phenomenon is caused by the ignition of methane generally exuded from swamps -- Mother Nature's own {{Fartillery}}. The tendency of the gas to burn with a bluish color led to the widespread belief (mentioned in [[WilliamShakespeare Shakespeare]]'s ''Julius Caesar'' and MarkTwain's ''Tom Sawyer'') that the presence of spirits caused the color.

* Will o' Wisp is an attack in ''{{Pokemon}}'', which causes the [[StandardStatusEffect burn status]]. No other attack does that as its main effect, only as a side effect.

* Huh, that reminds me, ''SaintSeiyaTheLostCanvas'' has Ignis Fatuus as an attack for the Cancer Saint, who appropriately enough uses SoulPower to create "soul flames" (or something, the translation I'm reading is a bit sketchy on those details).
