Pyromancy

Pyromancy is the art of manipulating fire. Pyromancers draw fire from the air by focusing on the power of Mount Kraolhi.

Lore
Pyromancy began thousands of years ago when a group of six elvish monks were traveling through the Pyrath Mountains. They had recently made camp partway up a seemingly quiet volcano when it suddenly began to erupt. Not wanting to perish in a flood of molten rock, the elves tried to prevent the eruption with their Gravimancy. When their magic had no effect, they threw caution to the wind and tried using the only fire magic they knew. It was a party trick that could make flames dance and change colors in their pits, but it was believed to be nothing more than a complicated Gravimancy maneuver. Much to the surprise of the elves, the lava slowly began to retreat back into the volcano. They also found that their ability to control the lava became greater as more and more of it returned to the mouth of the volcano.

The elves soon found that they were unable to leave the mountain. They knew that if they were to release their hold on the eruption, their powers over the lava would disappear and they would be consumed by the explosive power that was building inside of the volcano. They decided instead to form a monastery, and invited others to come explore their budding magic. They dubbed the mountain Mount Kraolhi, and their sanctuary Ashmeldahn. Generation upon generation continued to protect the mountain and perfect the magic. The power of the volcano, and of Pyromancy, has been building ever since.

It is generally agreed that pyromancy has hit its peak, and master pyromancers seeking greater power turn instead to solimancy.
