  • Pyromantic flame - Conjure a chaotic arcane fire rune in your palm. For the next 1d4+2 rounds, you can retain the rune and while holding it, launch flame in a 15ft ray, forcing creatures to take 2d6 + casting bonus fire damage, making a dex save to try and halve it, but taking double damage on a critical failure.
