The Lore of Fire

 We enter the circle at midnight

Monosophia

By rubbing your palms together, you can produce…

• (1 Secret) …sparks

• (2 Secrets) …a candle flame

• (4 Secrets) …a torch flame

• (8 Secrets) …a bonfire

You can be burned by fires of your own making.

Secrets of Fire

1. Fires within [SUM] paces burn faster or slower. Down to a smolder or up to an explosion that extends [HIGHEST] paces.
2. Blow through a flame to extend a cone of fire [SUM] paces for as long as you exhale.
3. Sculpt fire, within a space no greater than the span of your arms. It continues to burn, but the flames hold the shape you give them for [SUM] minutes. (Make a torch into a fiery sword.)
4. Material that would normally be flammable becomes resilient to fire (or the reverse); up to [DICE] times the amount of material that could be carried in a single arm. This effect lasts for one exposure to fire. (A person takes two arms to carry, unless you’re freakish strong.)
5. Swallow a burning coal without harming your throat. At any time, you can breathe out a cloud of smoke [SUM] paces in radius. All dice remain committed until you do so.
6. Call a fire to leap from its current home within [SUM]x10 paces to a new roost that you touch. The new home must be large enough to hold it; a bonfire will not migrate to a torch.
7. Remove [DICE] of the following from a single fire (lasts until the fire goes out, max [SUM] hours unless cast with 3+ dice):
• Heat
• Smoke
• Light
8. Light one flame from another. For [SUM] hours, you can project your sight, hearing, voice, and image through the link between the fires. If you use a Secret of Fire while touching one of the flames, you may choose for it to take effect as if you were standing in the other flame. If you use 3 or more dice, the effect instead lasts for [LOWEST] days.
9. Carefully prepare two ritual pyres. Light one while standing atop it to vanish and appear in a roar of flames atop the other. If the other pyre has been disturbed, you are instead consumed. Even on a successful transport, you suffer burns based on [HIGHEST]:
• 1: As if walking into a bonfire.
• 2-3: As if leaping through a bonfire.
• 4-5: As if jumping over a campfire.
• 6: As if standing a pace from a campfire.
10. Thrust your hand into the heart of a fire. It compresses into an uncut nugget of red glass in your palm. The fire erupts again when the glass shatters or after [HIGHEST]…
• (1 die) …heartbeats
• (2 dice) …hours
• (3 dice) …days
11. Imbue a fire with mind. It lasts for [SUM] hours, as long as it has fuel. The fire is friendly toward you, and has the size and intelligence of…
• (1 die) …a mouse
• (2 dice) …a dog
• (3 dice) …a man
12. Feed a part of your body to the flames, and use no Secrets of Fire for [SUM] days. You suffer no ill effects from the body part’s loss until the fire goes out, which it will not do unless extinguished. You also gain another benefit for as long as the body part burns, based on the number of dice invested and the body part sacrificed:
• 1 die
• Hair, fingernails: no effect (an everburning torch)
• 2 dice
• Eyes: you see the unseen; once you make eye contact only you can break it
• Tongue: your words cannot be ignored; you can rile up or terrify a crowd even if you don’t share a language
• Limb: replaced by one of ash, scorching to the touch and impervious to pain
• 3 dice
• Heart: your wounds burn closed; submerging you in water suspends the regeneration, but only extinguishing your heart can kill you
• Brain: burn out someone else’s mind and jump into their body; keep your Secrets

Marks of Fire

1. You radiate heat like a kettle of boiling water.
2. Flames burn behind your eyes. 
3. Your hair turns fire-orange and ignites harmlessly when your heartrate rises.
4. Dark-edged luminous cracks cover your skin, like a field of lava or smoldering embers.
5. You always smell of smoke.
6. Your shadow shows a mass of writhing flames in human form.

Dooms of Fire

1. Whenever you are more than an armslength from fire, you start to suffer from hypothermia.
2. Your touch is the touch of flame. Better get fireproof robes.
3. Your flesh is a delicacy among fuels. The fire wants you. It needs to consume you. It will seek you out. This doom can be avoided through marriage to a greater fire spirit, such as a true phoenix.
