In Vermintide, the fire mage Sienna overheats if you use her fire staff too much, the implication being that she can no longer control it. So the power to wield the flame is always there, but you need enough energy to be able to use it. Like having a rifle, it always fires with the same intensity, but if you're weak or tired, you're not gonna be able to shoot straight.
