We'll run with it. there might be SPOILERS.Everything else you've posted about the character (focus on sword, ability to dimension door through fire) implies that he is, like fire itself, a close-range fighter. Ichigo is a character who happens to have above average abilities in each sphere. Short range: Exceptional close-combat skills, shikai is broad to block more effectively.Mid-range: Ability to swing blade by bandageLong-range: Getsuga tenshou, shunpo.However, he is the hero. In no way is someone capable of excelling in all three fields balanced. what your PrC has (which can, to a certain extent, sneak under the radar) is spells with long range. You can equate this to kido (death-magic in Bleach): the spells which all shinigami have, Ichigo doesn't. In fact, death magic, binding magic, and healing magic are about the only three things he doesn't have.Your prestige class has access to magic. It can heal itself. It excels in short-range combat. It can move fires one turn and jump through them the next, adding to its short-range capabilities. Some people balance classes in terms of the number of (ex), (su), (sob), and (fu) abilities it gets. I prefer to think of them in terms of a story, and as such, I like to leave weaknesses in my character classes. If you want a long-range ability, I will write one, because this class seems like it'll be a hell of a lot of fun to play. But I would recommend against it, because I think he would prefer having the blood he splatters boiling against his skin.</blockquote>
