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

Meld

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.
