Avatar Firebending meditation. You know, the one with the candles. And I already suggested this as well.

Sorry, I have been awake for a while. I actually read this, but never made the connection between 'meditating to get a grasp of the power' and 'telling the fire not to hit friendlies'... it is obvious in hindsight, but I can be dense at times. Please bear with me if that happens.
Never!
But also if we're lighting the candles and putting them out, that requires directing it.

While you were mentioning Avatar... I was actually thinking we could easily get ourselves flight if we manage to direct the fire.
Do you remember Aang's battle with Firelord Ozai? Where the latter kept flying around on flames shooting out of his feet and redirecting his movement with blasts from his hands? This is probably something we can do as well.

To much collateral. I did think of that, but... the noise and destruction... Not practical. Not really.

Fair enough, although I think it would be a good start once we go for flight.
Start with flames, then make it heat, tone down to pure energy and see whether we can go without any collateral.
Or alternately, we can think of our body as another flame (Flame of Life, maybe?) and try to control it in the same way.

The fact that you have all the testing as subvotes of the Keep lying with Una vote seems like a bad idea to me since it seems to imply that you'd test out the magic while laying next to Una.
A bad roll could cause harm to her when we are that close and I would think that rewording the vote so that it cannot imply that we are beside Una whilst experimenting with fire magic would be a wise course.

Hm... I actually thought the wording would do, but you are right.
Hold on, reformatting incoming.
[] Keep lying with Una for a bit; grab one of the apples and eat
[] Leave the bed quietly and go down to the living room, you need some open space
-[] Sit down on the floor, as far away from any furniture as possible; just in case
-[] Think about your magic; fire is dangerous, but also a very useful tool to those that know how to use it
-[] Maybe you can change its properties?
--[] See if you can channel just a little bit of heat outside instead of the whole flame
---[] Not much, at most enough to raise the temperature by one or two degrees
--[] Also, test whether you can actually turn the flame into something else
---[] The healing process of any wound takes time and energy; see if you can turn your fire into energy for your body to heal faster with
[] Spend a while thinking and trying, but do not take risks; the last thing you need is to set everything on fire
[] Afterwards, get back to the bedroom, pet Una's head and eat the other apple
[] Then see if you can go back to sleep
Is this better?

I don't think we can leave under our own power, it would be better to wait for Una to wake up or actually wake her up so she can help us move. Otherwise I think it's a risk going down the stairs.

Ugh... decisions, decisions...
I am in no condition to do this well right now, after pulling an all-nighter.
Here, have both versions and build something fitting out of it.

That is actually a good point, that I had forgotten about (read update back before anyone started vote yet and checked back in thread a bit ago).
IMO that means we probably shouldn't be practicing magic until we feel like we are up to walking, because even if Una isn't in the room and something bad happens we aren't even in the position to move and stop it. It also means that this vote has to be over a decent period of time since I don't think we'd be forced to vote for what should essential be [] Lay down until you recover.
Hence while I am taking things from Naron vote I am adding my own points to take into account time passing.
[X] Keep lying with Una for now; grab one of the apples and eat. Rest until you can walk on your own two feet
[X] Scold Una about not listening to you when you tell her things and making stupid decisions
-[X] Don't forget to thank Una on finding all the stuff she did, and patting her on the head for it though. Without her you might not have known what a landmine being in this house is until after it was too late.
[X] You won't be able to stay in this house for long, begin scouting out a few places for you and Una to stay in the future.
-[X] Also keep an eye out for a fireproof and discrete area to test out your fire magic
--[X] If you do not find a good spot to test your powers, test them out by in a room of the house with prefferably non-flammable floor and all flammable objects removed from around you (if you are still injured don't try to move any heavy objects). If the house has a fire extinguisher bring it with you in the room just in case. Make sure that Una isn't around you and is prepared to leave the house if it catches on fire.
---[x] Check for any cameras in the room before using magic and block them.
----[X] Spend a while thinking and trying, but do not take risks; the last thing you need is to set everything on fire
Magical testing:

It occurs to me that using magic in a house we know have cameras is a terrible idea without checking and blocking all cameras in a room. Don't want the Mafia to know of our powers.
After that is all done, we'd hopefully have a chance to vote again, choose what place to stay from the locations we scouted out and from there we'd decide what loot we'd bring to our new house
You know assuming something horrible doesn't happen

Because we made a mental note to scold her but on the other side of things what she found gave us important context to who owns the house we are currently living in

Added this from Naron's vote:

Because I forgot to and a vote on practicing your magical powers is useless if you don't vote how to do so XD

Aspects and Concepts.
You are Cerys and currently you have the unique opportunity to experience what it's like to snuggle against your cute little sister... while having agonizing bolts of pain shoot up and down your body from a bunch of grenades that you accidentally set off.
Wasn't there a saying about pleasure and pain somewhere?
Still despite the moments of pain you are counting yourself lucky that your... magic, that's still taking some getting used to, didn't make them go off in an instant. That needed to change as soon as possible, sure it saved your life when fighting that monster but what if you end up hurting Una like this? The indiscriminate burning all around you was proof enough that if something like this happens again she would have to be far away just so she wouldn't end up like....
You shudder at the memory of the thing burning away and the implication you were quickly making, a quick lance of hot pain was actually welcomed by you as your thoughts were interrupted by it. There was an ominous feeling in you that this wasn't going to be a one time thing, that if you wanted to protect your sister while keeping her near you. you'd have to understand that blazing heat locked inside you.
The cage you made around that well of heat feels like it's enough for now but just like before if you just picture the thought of letting it loose on the world, that disturbing rush reared it's head almost tempting you to burn everything to ash. You hope that there's more to this then just burning, you tell yourself it's freaking magic, you might be able to do anything!
....Though maybe trying to conjure ice-cubes for your aching back is out of reach, but the thought of healing the damage done would be a welcome. You wonder if you're tied to things only related to fire considering you've been describing what was inside you as heat this entire time.
'Great.' you think to yourself, slowly doubting you can use your magic for your back. 'About the least destructive thing I can do is make flambes...'
*Yawn*
Before you could continue with your self-deprecating thoughts Una apparently decided to bury herself further into your chest, and while the added pain was far from pleasant it felt soothing to bask in the shared warmth. Dwelling on the gentle warmth of your sister, maybe you were approaching this all wrong? Instead of thinking of everything you could burn perhaps you can come up with the more positive things fire can do. Just thinking on it is a start and a heck of a lot safer then actually practicing when your sister is in your arms and you can't use your legs.
...
....hmm, You really want to be able to move soon so the thought of at least coming up with a concept of healing sounds appealing. You make a quick double check on your cage just to be safe as you rack your mind for ideas to come.
You weren't always lucky during the winter to find a house with heating but sometimes they'd have a fireplace as a good remedy. The warmth of those flickering flames added to your sister all the while wrapped up in a blanket was enough to ward the cold from your bones. It would be stupid to stick your hand near or in a fire but from where you sat it was perfect for seeing you through the night comfortably.
Still... that didn't seem even close enough for what you wanted to accomplish, you thought how of the times you used a fire to cook food for yourself and Una. If you didn't then you would've faced more then a few times with empty bellies. While you never really used it to see in lue of a flashlight you made sure it was always working, a fire was enough to keep the dark away.
Rummaging deeper through your head for ideas, you knew if metal got hot enough it could be shaped and made into a completely different image. It was in way destroying you admitted but it was changing one form into another, making it malleable to whatever your choosing.
Even as this reminded you there was more to fire then almost killing yourself and burning giant monsters to death, this line of thinking wasn't giving you what you wanted.
Sighing from the slowly mounting frustration, you winced as your wounds acted up again. Thankfully It wasn't as bad when Una had to pour liquid fire over them, even if it was to prevent infection, that still hurt like hell.
....
You held that thought, the pain was incredible and something you weren't too keen on doing but it prevented further more deadly problems in the future. The disinfectant in a sense burned away the multitude of germs just waiting to get you sick. In short it was along the lines of no pain no gain, it was a trade off that would always be worth it. Could the same be applied in the future you wondered?
But unfortunately that was the last idea you had for now anyway, you figured that this was productive enough considering the circumstances, of course you know this is far from over but it did ease your mind knowing just maybe you didn't have to use your magic in a particular way. Even if you've yet to try it, it was reassuring all the same giving you a base to hopefully start something.
But enough of that you thought, You'll face this problem again very soon but for now you closed your eyes and drifted back to sleep taking comfort in Una's body heat as she snuggled close to you as well as your own. A constant, gentle feeling that was far different to what was inside you but maybe eventually you'll see the two as the same.
==========================================================================================================================================================================
I don't really know what to say here. I hope this is serviceable? I wanted Cerys to just try and brainstorm a little bit like how we were in the thread and just try ideas but not have a deep philosophical understanding. Like fire can prepare food, keep people warm, light the way etc. Like her testing the waters so to speak before really going at it. I don't think I really have the character down but maybe as this goes on I'll nail it. Guess that's it, hope you got something out of it.
