Editing Flamepunk: Arcane Traits (section)

===Orthodox Pyromancer===

''This trait grants the skill and ability to enter into and travel through Flamespace. Orthodox Pyromancers are trained through a Church-approved apprenticeship system, with recognised national qualifications and training ranks. Orthodox Pyromancers tend to view Flamespace through their religion's paradigm, and are adept at shaping Flamespace and the flameweb to their will. It's a rare Pyromancer who isn't devoutly religious - the training is only offered to those of suitable faith, and the techniques learnt reinforce the doctrine of the Church at every step.''

'''Untrained Level'''

* Being Untrained in this trait confers no special advantages.
* ''Flamerunning'' - Anybody in Flamespace can move between nodes via Pathways, via the rules in the [[Flamepunk: Flamerunning|Flamerunning]] chapter.

'''Proficient Level'''

* A proficient Orthodox Pyromancer is called an ''Apprentice'', and is likely still learning the ropes. Apprentice Paladins are sometimes known as ''Squires''.

* ''Orthodox Flameleaping'' - By touching a Pathstone Aura and meditating (a 4-dice automatic action) the Pyromancer can mentally project into the Flameweb, entering the Pathstone's corresponding Node. 

* ''Anchoring'' - A Pyromancer can return to his body as a 1-dice automatic action, but only if he is at a Node linked to an active Pathstone which is touching his physical body. If this is not the case, he cannot carry out Anchoring. 

* ''Manifest Avatar'' - A Pyromancer can manifest a single Avatar form at this level. This is formed from the Pyromancer's subconscious, and usually represntative of his self-perception and psychology. 

* ''Channel Power'' - A proficient Pyromancer can channel power out of the Flameweb through the node he is at and into the physical world. This power manifests around the corresponding Pathstone as a halo of coloured flame, and can be used by other arcane specialists for various purposes.

'''Expert Level'''

* An Expert Orthodox Pyromancer is either called an ''Adept''. Adept Paladins are usually known simply as ''Holy Brothers'' or ''Holy Sisters''.

* ''Flamespace Combat'' - An expert Pyromancer can make Flamespace attacks against targets at the same node, with target Hit Numbers of (5, 6).

* ''Flamespace Evasion'' - An expert Pyromancer can make a Flamespace dodge when Flamespace attacks are declared against him. This is a 1-dice cost automatic reflexive action that has the effect of removing one dice from the rolled dice pool of an attacker.

* ''Armour of Discipline'' - An expert Pyromancer can choose to spend X Pyros as a 0-dice automatic action to gain +X Armour Rating for the rest of the round.

* ''Flamespace Manipulation'' - An expert Pyromancer can select and use Flamespace Manipulation traits from the section below. Note that these traits must still be selected as separate traits during character generation, or bought with XP.

'''Master Level'''

* A Master Orthodox Pyromancer is either called a ''Paragon'. Paragon Paladins are usually known as ''Blessed Fathers'' or ''Blessed Mothers''.

* ''Superior Flamespace Combat'' - A master Pyromancer can make Flamespace attacks against targets at the same node, with target Hit Numbers of (4, 5, 6).

* ''Superior Flamespace Evasion'' - An expert Pyromancer can make a superior Flamespace dodge when Flamespace attacks are declared against him. This is a 2-dice cost automatic reflexive action that has the effect of removing 2 dice from the rolled dice pool of an attacker.

*  ''Superior Flamespace Manipulation'' - Whenever using a Flamespace Manipulation trait from the section below the Master Pyromancer can choose to reroll any or all of the dice once, before any defence is applied.
