===Pyros===

Pyros is inner fire - the essence of magic and pyromantic force that exists within every living being. Ordinary everyday humans only have 3 points of Pyros, but the player characters are something more special. 

'''Player characters have a starting Pyros of 6 points. This is also their Pyros maximum.'''

Powerful NPCs (such as trained Guild operatives, mages, enemy runners and the like) will likely also have 6 points of Pyros. Especially powerful creatures (high power demons, elementals and ancient sorcerors for example) may have even more.

A character's Pyros pool can't normally exceed its initial amount, though some equipment and some special arcane traits can circumvent this.

Pyros is spent to power various arcane tricks, and can also be channelled through certain pieces of tech, and through specialised techniques. These are detailed in the relevant trait descriptions and the equipment chapter. Most humans can't access their own Pyros at all - its the ability to do so that makes the player characters (and more puissant NPCs) special and significant.

Pyros can be regained by being in the vicinity of fire and flame, or by simple exposure to sunlight. See the [[Flamepunk: Pyros|Pyros]] chapter for more details.
