Pyromancy is the specialization of the element of fire and may only be learned in Gaudiguch, for it draws its power from the Eternal Flame. Of all the mage skills, pyromancy is the most aggressive of all the elemental powers, though it offers little in the way of defense.

The Pyromancer (by Xiel)


Fireproof

Syntax
PYROCAST FIREPROOF
Damage Modifier: 1/8 fire resistance

You can temper your skin against fire, offering some fire protection as well as the chance to avoid catching on fire. Also, you will be protected from blasts of fire that move you on the [[Elemental Plane of Fire.]]


Combust

Syntax
PYROCAST COMBUST

PYROCAST FORCECOMBUST

Power: 1 (Eternal Flame)

You can cause fires to spontaneously combust and burn almost any environment.

If a location is currently the demesne of any druid or mage, you can FORCE it and break the node in that location. It will take some time to break a node and will require your full concentration.


Meld

Syntax
PYROCAST MELD

PYROCAST CLEAR
PYROCAST CLEAR NODE <#>
PYROCAST SENSE
PYROCAST WATCH ON/OFF
PYROCAST DISSOLVE
PYROCAST BOND
PYROCAST UNBOND
PYROCAST PASS [Bonded Mage]
DEMESNE
DEMESNE [NODES|ROOMS|BONDS|EFFECTS]

The primary power of pyromancy is to build your own combusted demesne. By casting a MELD, you create a node of power. You can have up to 3 nodes at any time, and they cannot be placed next to each other. If you place nodes within 5 rooms of each other, leylines will add the connecting rooms to your demesne.

You may also BOND to a fellow pyromancer's demesne and assist them. Bonding increases the strength of the nodes and the elementals that defend them.

While in your demesne, you can SENSE who dares to enter your flames and WATCH who enters and leaves. DEMESNE will show you what rooms are included in your demesne, and what powers are currently active. You can DISSOLVE your demesne at any time or CLEAR a specific node to remove it.

Changelog:

  • Melders can now <elem>CAST CLEAR NODE <#> to clear a specific node.(#2573 on 2021-Dec-16)


Fireball

Syntax
PYROCAST FIREBALL [target|NODES]
Power: 3 (Eternal Flame) (Nodes only)

Damage Type: Fire

Cast forth a tremendous ball of fire that will rip through your location and blast your enemies, burning them in the process.

You may target a single enemy or target all enemies between connecting nodes the node you are standing on.


Incinerate

Syntax
PYROCAST INCINERATE [HERE|NODES]
Power: 3 (Eternal Flame) (Current Room)

5 (Eternal Flame) (All Nodes)

Incinerate your location or all of the nodes in your demesne. This will force your enemies away from you, or away from each node in your demesne.


Firestorm

Syntax
PYROCAST FIRESTORM [DAMPEN]
Meld Effect: this will be cast throughout your demesne.
You can append DAMPEN to lower this effect.

Damage Type: 100% Fire

Storms of fire will rip through your demesne, damaging and knocking over your enemies. If they are already knocked over, they'll be knocked off balance.


FireWalls

Syntax
