Abilities

T1

Ignite

Effect on enemies: Sets target creatures ablaze and may set off target mortar shells. Effect on downed/allied creatures: Cautherizes existing wounds by burning the damaged area, this process will apply burn scars to tended parts. The chance of applying burn scars depends on the target's flammability. The severity of the inflicted scar scales inversely with psychic sensitivity. Effect on raw food: Cooks the selected pile of ingredients and converts them into meals, the quality of which depends on the caster's psychic sensitivity.

Warmth

Produce a soothing flaming orb at the target location, this flame will steadily treat minor wounds in nearby creatures while also warming up the affected area.

Thermal ascension

Ascend high up in the air and soar into the sky by propelling the caster through the use of thermic detonations, this method of transportation is reserved for the user only, meaning it is unavailable while caravaning. Taking flight causes a fiery explosion around the user, piercing through roofing will cause a detonation at the point of impact, damaging anything nearby as the caster appears. Encroaching on neutral/allied terrain will be seen as a breach of peace, turning the affected faction hostile.

Wildfire
