sacred flame
Revered eternal blaze
Sacred flame refers to a fire kept burning for religious or ceremonial purposes, often tended continuously as a symbol of divine presence or eternal devotion: The vestal virgins guarded Rome's sacred flame.
The phrase extends to any cherished cause or passion that must be preserved: She kept the sacred flame of jazz alive in her small club.
In fantasy games and fiction, Sacred Flame is often a spell or ability that calls down holy fire to smite enemies.
