Ignition sound effects for both meanings of the word. Turn the key and an engine cranks over and catches, in everything from old muscle cars to tractors. Or strike a match. A lighter flicks into life, and further up the scale a flamethrower lights with a roar, while designed fire bursts give magic spells their spark.

An engine start is a tiny story, with the starter whirring until the engine coughs and catches. Editors love a start that struggles first, for tension, and a clean instant one for a getaway. The car recordings keep the cabin around them, from the key going in to the first blip of the Exhaust, and a Motorcycle kicks into life in much the same way. On the fire side, a match strike is all scratch and fizz, while a flamethrower adds a soft whump as the fuel catches. Fantasy games borrow that whump for fire spells.
