The Flame Geode Thread...... Again.

[Mirage]

Keep seeing this type of argument in these threads. Hot lava does not automatically mean hot weather---you can have active and errupting volcanoes in snow covered regions. Ifrits is in a tropical zone, so it kinda makes sense for it to have the high rainy weather.

Yeah of course you can have volcanoes in snow covered regions, but there won't be much snow on the ground if you're so close that you can stare right into the lava (like you can in Ifrit's Cauldron). When you get that close to a volcano, it often gets unbearably hot.

IC is also in a region that is already (probably) very hot. It's a tropical jungle, so you can expect the temperatures to be 30 celsius or higher. If you have this temperature, and then wander all the way to the edge of an active volcano, close enough to stare right into the lava, you'll have a hard time convincing me that it wouldn't be above 50-60 degrees celsius there.
