==Using Pyros==
 
==Using Pyros==
  
Ordinary humans can't access their own ''Pyros'' - though ''Pyros'' lies within them they are unaware of its presence, and cannot direct or manipulate it in any way.
+
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.
 
 
For Player Characters and priveleged NPCs, ''Pyros'' can be tapped into via either equipment or certain traits:
 
 
 
===Via Equipment===
 
 
 
Several pieces of equipment allow a character to spend ''Pyros'' to achieve various effects. These are described in the [[Flamepunk: Technology and Weaponry|Technology and Weaponry]] chapter.
 
 
 
For the most part you want to be looking at [[Flamepunk: Integrated Enhancements|Integrated Enhancements]] and [[Flamepunk: Arcane Accoutrements|Arcane Accoutrements]], though there is also one piece of [[Flamepunk: Armour|Armour]] which allows ''Pyros'' expenditure.
 
 
 
===Via Traits===
 
 
 
Some Traits allow a character to spend Pyros to achieve different effects.
 
 
 
Usually these are [[Flamepunk: Arcane Traits|Arcane Traits]].
 
  
 
==Regaining Pyros==
 
==Regaining Pyros==
  
Pyros is fairly easy to replenish, though it takes a little time. Essentially, a character needs to be in the vicinity of fire and flame, or in direct sunlight, and needs to stay in that vicinity for a length of time.
+
Pyros can be regained by being in the vicinity of fire and flame, or by simple exposure to sunlight.  
 
 
* '''Direct sunlight''' restores 1 Pyros for every six hours a character spends within it.
 
* A '''candle-flame''' restores 1 Pyros for every six hours a character spends within three paces of it.
 
* A '''hearth-fire''' or ''camp-fire'' restores 1 Pyros for every hour a character spends within ten paces of it.
 
* A '''bonfire''' restores 1 Pyros for every ten minutes a character spends within thirty paces of it.
 
* A '''burning building''' or similar large conflagration restores 1 Pyros for every minute a character spends within one hundred paces of it.
 
* A '''burning town''' or other massive conflagration restores 1 Pyros for every few seconds (or one combat round) that a character spends within one thousand paces of it
 
 
 
The [[Flamepunk: Arcane Traits|Arcane Traits]] section includes various tricks for speeding up or cirvumventing this recharge time.
