Pyromancy

The warmth engulf his insides. A painfull burning heat nearly had the man scream out in pain, but he grit his teeth to the pack of wolves encroaching his position. Flanked from all sides, his crimson shot eyes scolded with embers within, he finally let the fire out. A stream of flames bursted like sweat from every pore, as the wolves that didn't run were set ablaze by the wild destructive spell. His world now felt dizzy with eyes clouded over. His breath was hoarse as he had to hold his knees while facing the dirt. Gasping for breath, he eyed over those black, scorched straws of grass around him. A wry smirk spreading on his lips as he noted how ash stained and hole riddled his clothes were. The next interractio with anyone would probably be awkward, but why complain. He -would- live to see another day.

Basis

The art of Pyromancy involves everything fire and flame. It's the art of heat and the manifestation of scolding embers. Pyromancy is one of the simpler magical domains, which involve the school of shamanism underneath the mystic dicipline.
By channeling heat or bending flames around the individual, they are able to manipulate or increase the potency of the fire element surrounding them. Anything from the warmth of their own bodyheat, to a candle or just pure fire of their surroundings can be channeled into elemental mana. Scientifically this would be considered fire and heat aspected energy, which has been drawn into and channeled within the essence of the individual casting the magic. This energy is thereafter manipulated into fitting spells like fireballs, firestorms, rain of flames, flamethrowers and more.
There is a danger of wielding Pyromancy though, in the fact that too much aspected fire channeled into the persons energy can cause them to combust into flames or explode. Although this may be an effective way to take out a whole throng of foes, it's usually a better idea not to get into a possition where self-sacrifice is the best way out.

Sub-schools

• Demomancy
  This school is the most common and simple of all the Pyromancy schools. It's the basic wield fire and flame to destroy and dominate everything sort of dicipline which tutors it's adepts to be as destructive as possible without scorching themselves and their own. A few spells that go into this cathegory is that of firebolts, firestorms, flamelance, etc.



• Romancy
  An art of Pyromancy which involves minimalistic and subtle gestures to command respect and obedience among the masses. This takes on a far more bardic form of magic based around snuffing out candles with the snap of a finger, conjuring sparks and party tricks with another type of snapping gesture and even moving through lethal heat and fire with a dancing grace which keeps harm at bay from the individual.



• Smokebending
  The rarest art within the Pyromancy school. Smokebending is a rather outdated type of magic which utilizes the smoke or radiating heat from a fire to conjure messages of smoke, create smokescreens or at times even choke out foes of buildings. The most common usage of this nowadays is how the Normanian Firebrigade will use the magic to keep themselves from suffocating to the vapours.
