Pyromancy

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.

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 FORCECOMBUST and break the meld in that location. Note that desert is considered the natural environment for a pyromancer demesne and needs not be combusted.

Meld

Syntax:

PYROCAST MELD PYROCAST SENSE PYROCAST WATCH ON/OFF PYROCAST DISSOLVE PYROCAST DAMPEN <effect> DEMESNE CENTER DEMESNE

The primary power of pyromancy is to build your own fiery demesne. By creating a MELD between a burning location and yourself, you thus build your demesne. Each new MELD must be adjacent to another. While in your demesne, you can SENSE who dares to enter your burning land and WATCH who enters and leaves. To check on its status, DEMESNE will show you where its center is, and what powers are curently active and how long they will last. DEMESNE CENTER will change the center of your demense to the current room. You can DISSOLVE your demesne at any time. If there is a demesne effect active that you wish to get rid of, you may DAMPEN it.

Influence

Within your own demesne, you will find your ability of influence to be more effective.

Smokehaze

The fire breath of a phoenix has the unique property of setting others on fire.

NOTE: If you lose the phoenix skill, your phoenix will not abandon you; however, it will no longer have the ability to light people on fire when it breathes fire nor allow the owner to use breathe fire without the Beastmastery skill. Also note that the phoenix's inherent ability to fly will always need the flying skill in Beastmastery to use it.
