The mages of fire are 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 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 themselves up, and many more useful facts. But around the year 200, someone 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 and making it 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 a 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 good. 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 the runes of old, created by the first mage of fire to teach. Only once one's 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 being at least sixty minutes long. To obtain level two, the student must 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 four sessions, each with a length of sixty minutes. Each day one session can be held by the teacher and student pair. After finally reaching level three, the student doesn’t require additional sessions and will reach level four automatically after some time of self-studying the magic. Each level requires a bonding trial to empower the spellcaster. Bonding trials can only occur in the season in which the magic has an intrinsic relationship. For Pyromancy, this is Eden's Shine, also known as Summer. These trials are usually done at or around the Hallowed Grounds of the magic type that is considered sacred by all those who practice that elemental art.
Level Increase | Required Sessions | Req .Session Length |
Lvl 0 to Lvl 1 | 4 Sessions | 60 Minutes |
Lvl 1 to Lvl 2 | 4 Sessions | 60 Minutes |
Lvl 2 to Lvl 3 | 4 Sessions | 60 Minutes |
Lvl 3 to Lvl 4 | Self-study level up when Eden's Shine arrives. | |
Lvl 4 to Lvl 5 | Self-study level up when Eden's Shine arrives. |
After choosing a path, the spellcaster will automatically increase in level if they can show proof of self-study. The caster can level up once every IC year during their primal season, Eden's Shine or Summer.
Bonding trials are still required to level up between each level, but spellcasters can request those themselves after they move on to self-studying.

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. Fire from Ignos does NOT spread to flammable objects and can not cause large spreading fires such as forest fires.

Additional Abilities
Flaming Familiar | |
The mage can create a small, flame-like spirit that follows them around. | |
Range | 5 meters |
Effect | While near their creator, the spirit will grant them +1 to either their casting or success roll. |
Red Lines |
Brilliant Radiance (Solarmancy only) | |
The mage slowly consumes the sun's heat and energy throughout the battle, charging themselves with an unimaginable tension. | |
Range | 10 meters |
Effect | The spellcaster can use their action to release tension from inside themselves, blinding everyone in range for D4+1 rounds with varying debuff. The strength of blindness depends on how many turns the mage charged this ability:
Once a spellcaster reaches level 5 of Solarmancy, their sunlight intake vastly increases, which grants any of their blindness debuffs to be stronger by one point. |
Red Lines | Takes one round to charge. |
Running Hot | |
When the spellcaster is in CRP, they feel the thrill of battle and channel heat from deep within them, willing or not. | |
Range | 2 meters |
Effect | This creates a scorching heat in a radius of 2 meters around them for D3 + (Levels above Level 8)turns.
This means the ability duration is as follows:
This heat is unbearable to anyone who gets too close while unprepared. Those who dare get close to the caster will take D1 damage per turn they are in the range of the heat wave. |
Red Lines | Once the wave dies down, it will not activate until after 10 turns. |
