Pyromancy | 21

Meaning 'fire divination' this popular magic consists of throwing masses of fire; pyromancers are rightfully feared for the pain and damage they can inflict, so only responsible folk are trained in this. Pyromancy is short-ranged, but fire moves quickly. This magic is intelligent, and does not deliberately harm its own wielder, as the fire is directed away from the pyromancer, but may still burn the wielder's attire if overused. Pyromancers are resistant to high temperatures and fire, but sensitive to cold weather, and tend to fear or dislike water.

Tiers
Minor : Pyromancy is simple, small, and brief.

Major : Pyromancy is capable of large flames and projectiles. Enables the summoning of a fire elemental, a fiery entity who guards the caster and can breathe fire and cast minor pyromancy.

Supreme : Pyromancy is intricate and powerful, capable of immolation, and may consist of fiery lances, whips, barriers, and anything else the user wishes. Enables user to summon up to several fire elementals that can breathe fire and cast minor pyromancy.

Causinomancy | 29

Meaning 'burning divination' this magic does not necessarily produce flames, but rather increases the heat enough to form burning, blackening, or smouldering. Causinomancers can create small flames directly on objects, but their main power is to increase the heat of a specific target, however, causinomancy can only be used on inanimate targets. Useful for blacksmiths, and cooks.

Tiers
Minor : Causes burning or smouldering of object.

Major : Directly causes object to heat up wholly, capable of causing flames; prolonged use will cause metal and stone to heat red-hot.

Supreme : Extreme heating causes metal or stones to immediately become red-hot; prolonged use will eventually start to melt metal and fracture stone, and allow welding.



Pyremancy | 30

This kind of fire-magic forms flames from one's own body, but not as projectiles, essentially being a more passive version of pyromancy. As such, pyremancers can surround themselves or their equipment in a coat of flames or form a torrent of fire that is always connected to the user's body. Pyremancy is intelligent and burns away from the user to lessen the chances of self-immolation. Pryemancers' bodies and organs can withstand high temperatures and even flames, but they tend to exhibit hydrophobia, and are sensitive to cold weather.

Tiers
Minor : Pyremancy is basic, simply a covering of flames to deter attackers.

Major : Pyremancy is capable of larger flames, and streams of flames can form from one's body.

Supreme : Pyremancy is intricate and powerful, capable of forming specifically shaped barriers or a blazing coat of flames (essentially making the pyremancer look like a walking fireball). Can also coat one's own weapons or projectiles in flames. Enables immunity to flame and heat.

Capnomancy | 31

Meaning 'smoke divination' this magic is exactly that: of smoke and controlling smoke. Not necessarily dangerous in the short-term, but capnomancers can create smokescreens, redirect smoke, or suffocate targets in a confined area. They have lungs of iron, and can inhale smoke, steam and vapour without too much problem, and so are also resistant to noxious gases. Useful for miners and blacksmiths.

Tiers
Minor : Smoke is of small volume, and capnomancer can control own smoke at will.

Major : Smoke is of significant volume, capable of forming smokescreens, and capnomancer can control any smoke at will. Lungs can breathe through any gas.

Supreme : Can create and control any smoke and greatly amplify volume at will. Lungs are immune to damage caused by inhalation of any gas.



Atmomancy | 32

Meaning 'steam divination' this magic is obviously extremely hot, allowing practitioners to create and control volumes of steam. Although it does not seem like much, steam flows quickly, capable of seeping into the gaps of armour and burning the target anyways. It does not have much uses beyond inflicting pain and forming hot smokescreens, but can be distributed around a wide area. An atmomancer's organs and body flows with a little steam, thus stay warmer than most even in freezing environments, and provides resistance to heat and some fire. Can also be used to melt ice or frozen things.

Tiers
Minor : Can create and control small volumes of steam.

Major : Can create and control larger volumes of steam, and form walls or shapes of steam to serve as painful barriers. User cannot freeze, and can breathe steam if wishes so.

Supreme : Can create and control any steam in any way and shape, including blasting a torrent of it in a specific direction. Atmomancer becomes immune to freezing and frostbite.
