Fire Magic

Fire magic is associated with *flame*, *light, solar energy*, and *passion*. Fire has many sides to its nature: it is drawn to artists and caregivers, to the passionate and ambitious, and to those with devastatingly destructive tendencies. Likewise, fire magic is vulnerable to suggestion and reflects its practitioner's heart. From the warm, calm abilities of a maternal figure, to the barely-contained blaze of an aggressive and tortured individual, fire magic is deeply connected to those who call it their own.

Fire magic is part of the pure class. Kirin/qilin and unicorns/re'em can have this magic as their affinity.

## Talents

### Fire Manipulation

* **Level 1:** You are coming into your magic. You can create sparks, and even little flames when you concentrate hard enough. You can snuff small fires with a thought, and redirect the path of creeping flames with great concentration.
* **Level 2:** Creating fires with a flicker of thought is now an easy task. You can create rings, arcs, and jets of fire through the air, or send them burning across a flammable terrain. You can draw fire around you as a protective shield, and have the ability to manipulate heat you are in direct contact with.
* **Level 3:** You are now able to make fire semi-tactile. You can form weapons such as whips and blades. You can thrust yourself forward or even into the air using your flames as propulsion, and if you are exceptionally skilled, you can create powerful explosions. Your own fire will not hurt you.

### Light Manipulation

* **Level 1:** You'll never be able to snuff out the sun itself, but you *are* able to manipulate sources of light around you. You're able to make light sources -such as candles or luminescent gemstones- shine brighter or go out completely. With concentration, you can create a short-lived pulse of light from within yourself that is capable of temporarily blinding others.
* **Level 2:** Your light pulse can now push objects and people away from you. You can create temporary, glittering swords of pure light that burn your adversaries.
* **Level 3:** You are able to make hard light projections upon which you can walk. Though stationary, you can create enough of them to form bridges, stairs, and even a shield with which to protect yourself. With great difficulty, you can now create missiles of pure light that rain upon a field like a destructive meteor shower.

### Pain Exploitation

* **Level 1:** By setting the nerves 'on fire', you are able to cause stinging aches and pains in those around you, though they are far from incapacitating. You can likewise cause this pain in yourself. Perhaps you should get used to it if you truly want to unlock this talent's power...
* **Level 2:** The pain you magically inflict on yourself can now drive you into a rage, and has an effect on your psychical prowess. In this state, you become faster, stronger, and maintain greater stamina... but you *are* in a dizzying rage, so don't expect to be making smart decisions.
* **Level 3:** By setting their nerves 'on fire', you are now able to make up to three individuals writhe in pain. The painful rage you inflict upon yourself has only grown more powerful: while under its thrall, you are able to ignore blows and injuries that would normally cripple you, and your strength is enough to bend -and even break- solid steel. You can only maintain this state for up to thirty minutes at a time, and during, the rage makes you almost animalistic.
