anyone gonna drop some lore about ifrit?
If I must, I'm glad my Mythology and Comparative Religion minor comes in handy:
Ifrit, or commonly known as Efreet, are dated to first come out in the Islamic Quran. They are dwellers of the underworld and their names come from their cunning and malicious nature. However, what they are is dependent on what part of the world you take your folklore of:
In Morocco: They are the spirits of the innocents who were murdered and died with rage which ignited their soul
In Egypt: They are spirits who have the ability to endow Bravery and Strength to a host typically at the cost of sanity.
The most famous story of an Ifrit is likely from their attempt at stopping the prophet Muhammad during his Night Journey pilgrimage. He appeared winged and attempted to scare the prophet away through his smoke and flame; however, it was defeated by the archangel Gabriel.
Basically, they're islamic versions of demons known for their fire and their cunning.
