In Diablo 4 there are tons of skins, but not only for your clothes, but also for your skills – and they are even free. A player noticed the special color of his skills in a teammate and thus a feature that was presented before the game was released, but has hardly been noticed since then.
What kind of “secret” is that?
Where does the blue fire come from? The answer is quite light: you only have to be strong enough. More specifically: You have to reach a certain level for your skills. From a skill level of +10 (some of +15 report), the skills change their visual effect.
However, this is not very easy to achieve, because you get a maximum of skill points for a skill. You will then receive the others:
The changed skills are a purely optical effect and Blizzard presented it a few months before the release of Diablo 4. Somehow that seems to have been forgotten.

Skills change your look in Diablo 4 when you get strong enough
If the level is high enough, an ability changes your visual effect. In the case of crems-and most fire magic-the fire becomes blue. Blizzard already showed in a video from 2021 what is possible:
The changed optical effects are intended to show that you have become stronger and no longer just any initiat of your class, but a master.
Ironically, skills are not even particularly important for most of the really powerful builds, but only the effects that they trigger. This goes from class-specific additional effects such as dust devils to mechanics that dominate each class. This is exactly what seems to be a problem slowly: a mechanics dominated the Tier List in Diablo 4, is generated by 80 % in Season 9
