Fire [i]
“Fire magic is difficult to teach. Casting fire spells is an expression of passion more than concentration or visualization. While there are some scholarly types that do accomplish all the effects of Fire through fundamental understanding and expression of will, those who truly master the flames tend to be wild at heart.”
First Wake of Fire
Unless you were born suffused in Elemental Spirits, for the Wake of Fire to happen you must allow a Firelight Firefly to bond with you. They may come from any source of fire. Like with any Elemental Bond, they become a part of you. A frail will of raw emotion will join in your mind.
Note: Elemental Magic may also be considered Arcane Arts. Feel free to eschew the elemental angle for other reasoning that suits the character.
Core Effect Trees: Elemental
Root Effect Tree: 10 xps.
Firelight [Torch]
Harmless flames engulf any or all of your body illuminating the area around you. The illumination can go from the dim light of a candle to a bright torch that bathes up to Sphere: 3 in light.
Effects
Activation: As the Firelight inside you is of its own will, it may activate without the use of your Action Slots. As a will of its own, it has 1 Action Slot each Full Round.
Illuminate: Bathe up to 3 Tiles in every direction centered on you in gentle Firelight. It may seem as if part or all of you is on fire, but yields no heat. Adjusting Illuminate takes Firelight 1 Action Slot, and the change takes the Full Round.
Ignite: Firelight becomes like a match, gathering together within 3 Tiles of you to set fire to a Flammable object. During Ignite, Illuminate will dim and be at the location of what it is setting on fire. Ignite is a Within Reason Effect.
