Dominant vs. Secondary
Dominant refers to the strongest manifesting energy type in the body, and the one more easily used by any individual. Very rarely you will have someone with multiple Dominant flames. Lal Mirch is one such individual. Skies with Secondary flames also fall under 'dual-Dominant', depending on who you ask.
Secondary refers to the second strongest energy type, usually less easily manifested, if at all. The Secondary flame often does little more than to influence / indicate an aspect of an individual's personality. Kakishima is notorious for most, if not all, of their residents having Dominant and Secondary flames.
There's no absolute prediction for what flame type will be manifested, especially for the Dominant type.
However, it has been noted that the longer one spends around people of a certain Dominant flame type, the more likely one is to manifest that type as a Secondary, or to even switch Dominant flames completely depending on concentration of flames. Kakishima, for example, has insanely high levels of Secondary Clouds and Mists.
