<br />*My assumption is that I can mantain (and if necessary, make) firewands with blacksmithing and firedust (obviously, given necessary materials) with explosives - I will change them appropriately if that assumption does not hold. Explosives was originally Alchemy but I figured that was... not so much too broad but too undefined. I had no idea what I could and couldn't do with it. Explosives is if anything on the narrow side... but there's no shortage of ideas about what I can do with it . Also it's only 1 dot anyway.

<br />**Her Lore background is the things she learned on her travels - mostly local geography and cultures and politics etc. This experience with various cultures is also the explanation for her Socialize skill. Her Specialty pertains to all kinds of spirits - I'll narrow it if that's too broad. Keep in mind that if I cannot justify it with some reference to these two broad topics, I can't use Lore at all, so Lore topics should probably not be too restrictive. Notably (and deliberately), this character has Lore but isn't actually well-read. Traditional scholarly topics (e.g. history, science, literature, math) are not actually her thing. (Yet, anyway, Harmonious Academic Methodology will fix that eventually.)

<br />***Assumed to apply to fire-based spells, dealing with fire elementals, and with her fire attack.
