Fire Element

A Study Maker of the Fire Element will be required to learn the practical uses, the rituals and the theories of this element and take the Second Grade Test in order to become a Master Elementalis.

Uses:

• The Fire Element is predominantly used for cooking, illumination and in ritual purifications. It is also used by Earth Elementalis for land clearing to regain the nutrients in the soil.

• A ritual of this Element, in conjunction with an Air Element ritual, comprises the Elementalis Death Rites.

• The Fire Handlers, a branch within the School founded by Sage Troipides, have learned to use Fire in many different ways based from the teachings of the Salamander to Sage Claridon. They are said to be the best cooks, and the handiest people to have when a fire rages out of control.

Rituals:

• Ritual of Divine Consumption: A Fire Elementalis is able to feed the divinities by placing the foodstuffs in a fire pit. The divinity then consumes the offering by the agency of the Fire. This is an important ritual in the Elementalis Death Rites. After an Air Elementalis has collected the last breath of the deceased, the corpse is then offered for divine consumption on a funeral pyre.

• Ritual of Incredible Purity: A Fire Elementalis will hover a small torch near an impure object and by the heat produced will purify it. This is also done on impure people, though with obvious attention to safety.

Theories:

• Theory of Untouchable Inheritance: Follows the studies of Sage Onophraeon and the School of the Fire Element founded by Sage Poseias of Krimml. This theory holds that Fire is a pure element, incorruptible and vital for physical and spiritual purity, and that it is even greater than the Water Element in these regards.

• Protocols of the Fire Handlers: These are the safety instructions developed for proper care and usage of the Fire Element in practical situations. The School of the Fire Element founded by Sage Troipides of Sir Temple is the home to this sect, and they practice the teachings of Sage Claridon, as given by the Salamander. A Fire Handler is often requested to reside in a city or a major village to use their skills in the event a fire breaks out.
