Summon Wildfire Spirit (2/Day). Calida summons Aquila, the wildfire spirit. They appear in an unoccupied space that Calida can see within 30 feet and each creature within 10 feet of the Aquila (other than Calida) when they appear must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 2D6 fire damage. Aquila acts in combat immediately after Calida, taking the Dodge action on each of their turns unless commanded otherwise, and remains for 1 hour or until they are reduced to 0 hit points.

BONUS ACTION

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Calida of the Wildfire is the current Dean of Expression. They came to the position after years of serving Concordia in their role as part of the order before enrolling at Faerndaar to develop their magical abilities. They always wants to see art that is bigger, more radical in concept, and more emotionally powerful. For their final project as a mage-student, Calida famously "turned in" an earthquake, which almost destroyed three campus buildings. The piece received a standing ovation from the mage-student body - and a grumpy thumbs down from the campus construction golems. These days, they spend most of their time devoted to the school, however should the need for a member of The Order of the Wildfire to step up, they will not hesitate to.
