Default Q: Flame vs Flaming

Hello. I'm Japanese Munchkin lover in Tokyo. Please forgive my poor English cause I'm not native.

While I translating MQ cards for my Japanese friends to play with (nobody play with me without doing it!), I got a question. Is "attack by a munchkin who has Flame power" is the same as "Flaming attack" ? As I looked the cards, I found many number of cards checking about "Flaming" but none about "Flame". And reading glossary, Flaming grants Flame power but not vice versa. I'm confusing.

Thanks :)

If you have the Flame power, you will have a Flaming attack. I'd have to check the individual cards and tiles to see if there's any way that is not logically so. It is possible that the context of any one card or tile might complicate things.

Thank you for the answer.

I believe it's not a ruling problem but a grammertical one, noun vs adjective. It's one of the biggest problem for non-native anyway ... :|

This question was asked in a game I played, too. There is a suit of armor that is Flaming, but since it was armor we didn't know if it counted as a flame attack. We decided Yes, it was a Flame Attack because fire always burns and that is like a weapon no matter what item the fire is coming from.
So, yes, in other words:
