The mages of fire are mages of desire, as these have always used their sheer force of will to mold the flames of Ignos. Fire has always been seen to be close to complete chaos, but it can be more so described as ordered chaos. It takes a lot of concentration to wield the force of flame, but there have been innovations to help resolve these issues making fire magic more widespread.
History
Fire has been there for as long as people can remember, to cook meat, warm yourself up and alot more useful facts. But around the year 200 there was someone that took the flames to another level. They had a primal rage large enough to tear a permanent tear between the realm of Eden and Ignos, bringing eternal flame into the world, making the world a few degrees hotter. Once this primordial had brought their fire they went to their respective realm to rule over it. Fire has been a signet for smiths all over Eden and beyond, be it that metal has an innate connection with fire through its inability to burn, as it has been used to open tears easier and to even color the blaze rare tints. The easiest way to find such an item is to open a tear to Ignos, and let someone, or something stamp a circle under the excruciating heat there. The reason this signet is stamped onto the items is certainly unknown, but it has worked for long enough to be seen as tradition by teachers to teach their students.
Learning and Teaching
To strengthen your will and resolve one's master will put you under extreme heat and torrid conditions, for your own good of course. Your mind becomes calm after the horrendous experiences you go through. As your rage, fear and other emotions fade away. Your mind starts to understand runes of old, created by the first mage of fire to teach. Only once ones mind has been calmed down enough can one access the true potential of the ring of fire. Training is usually done in volcanic waters, scorching rocks or close to molten lava, though the conditions are all optional depending on what the teacher sees fit for the student.
To reach level one a teacher needs to have at least four sessions with their student, each session being at least sixty minutes long. To obtain level two the student needs to have another four lessons of sixty minutes. To finally reach level three and the ability to teach magic themselves the students need to have another set of two sessions, each with a length of thirty minutes. Each day one session can be held by the teacher/been received by the student. After finally reaching level three the student doesn’t require any additional sessions and will reach level four automatically after two weeks of self-studying the magic. Once level four was reached the cooldown is renewed and the mage will reach level five after an additional two weeks. After finally reaching level five, the spellcaster faces a decision to follow either of two paths. This decision will determine his further magical journey, and can never be undone.

Limitations
Fire from Ignos does not do permanent harm, so it will not leave permanent burn marks and they will heal, though this damage does kill, while following all rules. This is just so that one's appearance doesn’t change without consent. If discussed with the recipient of the flames and they want to have the marks you can make an exception, but only then.
Spells

Strings of fire erupt from the tear to the realm of Ignos. The casters hand catches these strings of freed energy as they slowly form into a sphere, whereafter it becomes too big to hold. The user now throws the sphere of flame towards their target, and when it collides it explodes, obliterating anything around impact.
