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. |

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 |
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.
