Of all the elemental traditions, Fire magic holds the most appeal to those who would harness one of the fundamental forces of nature and use it for destructive ends.

A tradition infamous for its ruinous power, Fire magic ignites flames and grants total mastery over their shape and form. Wherever users of Fire magic go, they leave ashes and cinders in their wake.

Most users come by the secrets of Fire magic by learning the words of power from a genie. Such words might be picked out from the crackle of a flame or the roar of an inferno, or written in tongues of fire as they waver and dance. Other adherents, especially those coming to magic from formal institutions, might learn the essentials of the tradition from books and scrolls. A rare few display an innate ability to master fire, possibly as a result of some latent psychic talent.

Fire Spells In Underwater Environments

As one might expect, fire spells have limited effectiveness when used on targets under water or, if the caster is able to speak while underwater, when cast in such environments. The flames might cause water to steam or even boil, but unless the fire created has a persistent effect, targets immersed in liquid take half damage from Fire spells.
