Customization Notes: The Flambeau is very much a one-trick pony. He can throw fire at opponents extremely effectively. His focused Arts and Magical Focus mean that he has some Penetration even for powerful spells. However, he is much weaker if he tries to do anything else. Wrathful and Enemies can be swapped out for other Flaws with no trouble, to break the stereotype a bit, as can his Greater Immunity. He can take another Minor Flaw, and balancing Minor Virtue.

Customization Notes: The Flambeau is very much a one-trick pony. He can throw fire at opponents extremely effectively. His focused Arts and Magical Focus mean that he has some Penetration even for powerful spells. However, he is much weaker if he tries to do anything else. Expanding from a master of creating fire to a master of all sorts of fire, the Flambeau is still a one-trick pony, but it's a much bigger trick.

New Spells:

Cataclysm of Scarlet and Crimson (CrIg 35)

R: Voice, D: Conc, T: Group

Fiery balls of inevitable doom rain down upon an area declared by the caster. Each unfortunate within the doomed area - a region about ten paces in diameter - will near inevitably be struck by the raining flames, suffering +15 damage. This burning catastrophe will continue as long as the caster can maintain concentration, and the collapsing wave of fire can move its zone of incineration at the speed of a running man - horses or very fast runners, sadly, can outrun it.

(Base 10, +2 Voice, +1 Concentration, +2 Group)

Lesser Enchanted Devices:

Apologetic Stone

This enchanted band, a bronze ring with a small ruby inset, extinguishes any flames it touches, up to a +10 damage fire. The activation is a gripping motion with the hand as the flames are touched.

(Base 4, +1 Touch, +1 intensity (+10); +10 level for unlimited uses)

Emergency Stone

This is an enchanted ring invented after an embaressing situation where a fire got out of control. It has a ruby inset within it. Making a rapid gesture, palm down, will extinguish all but the most dangerous of flames touched, up to a +20 damage.

(Base 4, +1 Touch, +3 Intensity(+20))
