The element fire

Fire is one of the four base elements said to compose all of reality. Bright and burning, fleeting in its dancing from, yet ever eager to grow and rise again, fire is representative of not only visible flames, but heat, progress, sudden disaster or decline and eventual rebirth. To those that believe fire is one of the basic building blocks of reality, its influence can be found in maelstrom, water, magma, the dry unyielding desert, and in any source of light.

Cult of the elementalist: fire denomination

Members of the cult of elementalist may revere fire above all of the other elements or have joined or been born into a society who's reverence for fire predates modern elementalism. If the latter is the case, they come from a group of nomadic communities that follow brush fires across the plains they typically inhabit. Favoring hunting and gathering over trading for food or establishing temporary farms, the nomads are happy to share celebration and shelter with any they encounter. They rarely fight but when they do they are fierce and well coordinated, their movements almost like that of a dance. To them the meaning of life is to travel and settle together, beating back the night with trade and cheer where-ever they spread. They always have a fire burning in their camps except in times of war (when it is often the enemies encampment that is burning), sleeping in shifts to accomplish this. While they value the more "positive" qualities of fire such as its warmth and light, they can harness its destructive power just as easilly.

Classes associated with fire

As a magical class you can generally spend your turn (spending your turn Immediately ends it, not allowing you to do anything else) on one of three things.

A "basic magic attack". Do 1 hit of damage associated with your classes element to an enemy up to 12 spaces away so long as you do not move more than 3 spaces on the turn you use it.
A "basic spell". spend elemental charges (the main resource that is spent on abilities) to do damage associated with that element to an entity within 6 spaces. 1 charge for 3 damage 2 for 5 and 3 for 6.
Spend elemental charges on "spells" from your classes spell list. The cost of each spell is also listed, rules for casting spells with multiple charge types are described in how to play-multi class benefits. Additive spells allow you to cast one other spell along side of it, spending your turn casting both simultaneously. Focus spells allow you to continue part or all of the effect on subsequent turns, spending one charge of any type but not spending your turn on that effect other than the turn you initially cast the spell. Spells have a range of 6 spaces unless stated otherwise and their damage type corresponds to their element.

Fire spells:

Spread: signature, 1 charge, this spell targets an environmental effect expanding it to the adjacent spaces and reseting the number of turns it lasts. Any enemies already inside the effect or who it expands to suffer the same damage they would on their turn. Any instance of the same environmental effect (eg manifest flame or water) counts as the same environmental effect for this purpose.
Manifest flame: 1 charge, signature, additive, set a flame on one space, if an entity is on or walks into that space they take 1 hit. at the start of their turn, an entity on a manifested flame takes 1 hit for every turn they have started on a flame. This number resets as they move onto a space without flame. Manifested flames last two turns normally but will persist as long as an entity occupies their space.
Burn: 2 charges, 2 enemies takes two hits and the burn status effect is applied to them. Burn is a status effect that does 2 hits to each enemy effected at the start of their turn, and each instance of it persists as long as you focus. All enemies already burning when this spell is cast take 1 hit.
Blind: 2 charges, a sharp burst of white flame manifests, it cannot appear on the same square as an enemy but it blinds all enemies within one square of it for a turn.
Wild fire: signature, 3 charges, all enemies on a flame become burned, and all burned enemies leave flames behind on any space they move into until your next turn. This does not count as walking into a flame, but can cause them to start their next turn on one.
Engulf: 4 charges, an enemy is consumed by flame, taking 5 hits, they are blind and distracted. If they are burned they are blind and distracted as long as they burn.
Incinerate: 5 charges, signature, destroy an enemy with 20 max hp or less.

As a physical class you can generally spend your turn (spending your turn Immediately ends it, not allowing you to do anything else) on one of three things.

Do a “basic attack” that has different properties based on the weapon involved.
Use a “free technique”, that does not require spending charges to use but may not be accessible until you reach a certain level in your class. Free techniques labeled as passive are always in effect, and you do not need to spend a turn or even "use" them. Other free techniques that are exceptions will specify that they do not require spending a turn.
Use a “charge technique”, which requires you to spend charges to activate and has a damage type corresponding to your classes element. The cost of each charge technique is listed, rules for using charge techniques when you have multiple charge types are described in how to play. charge techniques that are exceptions will specify that they do not require spending a turn
