Playing With / Sacred Flames

• Straight: The Trope Flame keeps Troperia safe and is believed to have been originally granted to the nation by the Trope God Alice.
• Subverted: Bob and Charlotte find out that the Trope Flame is just a mundane flame that a religion sprung up around, and it being lit has no bearing on the realm's safety.
• Double Subverted: ...But while the stories around it have been twisted over the centuries, it truly is a divine flame, and wards off the Legions of Hell led by the Cliché Demon Danny.
• Averted: The Trope Flame makes a good symbol but is nothing particularly special otherwise.
• Downplayed: The Trope Flame is sacred, but in more of a symbolic sense than it being literally created by a god.
• Justified:
  • The Trope Flame is directly observed having magical properties such as being cool to the touch and purging things thrown in it of demonic influence.
  • Bob and Charlotte directly witness Alice bring the fire into being, quelling any doubts on its divinity, and leave behind easily corroborated records of its holy properties.
• Implied: When Bob and Charlotte visit Troperia, there is prominent flame imagery everywhere in relation to Alice.
• Inverted: The Trope Flame turns the soul demonic and was originally created by the Cliché Demon Danny.
