Fire Magic is my heart, but I believe there's something beyond it. Something even more deadly. If only I had time to do more research.

== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
[[ProjectGorgon:Fire Magic|Fire Magic]] is a common magical combat skill learned by many across [[ProjectGorgon:Alharth|Alharth]].

=== In-Game Description ===
Using Fire to destroy your enemies. This is a very potent offensive skill, including long-range and area-effect attacks, and even some Cold attacks for versatility. However, there are drawbacks: Fire Magic is extremely Power-intensive; all creatures generate extra Rage when they are burned; and many creatures have some resistance to fire.

=== Research Mechanics '''VERY IMPORTANT''' ===
Fire Magic, [[ProjectGorgon:Ice Magic|Ice Magic]], and [[ProjectGorgon:Weather Witching|Weather Witching]] are research-based skills. This means rather than directly learning spells, you learn a research research recipe for a certain level of spells, and when completing that research you get a random spell of that level. '''Outside of the first level of a spell, you can only research a level that you have already researched the previous level of. This means if you research all spells you want at a certain level, you can stop researching at that level, and the unwanted spells will not be acquired in future tiers of research. This can save a significant amount of materials in later tiers while you acquire your desired spells, as research becomes very costly later on.'''

=== Research Ingredients ===
[[ProjectGorgon:Fire Magic|Fire Magic]] is a research based magic, and abilities are unlocked through combining specific ingredients using recipes. The skill can be expensive due to the required ingredients used in spell research: {{Item|Fire Dust}}, {{Item|Sulfur}}, {{Item|Saltpeter}},  {{Item|Explosive Runestone}}. {{Item|Flame Nib}}, {{Item|Guano}}, {{Item|Phoenix Beak}}, {{Item|Phoenix Feather}}, {{Item|Phoenix Egg}}. Please see the pages for those ingredients for more information on how to gather them. Researching is ''not'' a lottery, each recipe can only be completed a number of times so the amount of ingredients required is fixed. The research mechanic simply adds a little randomness to the order in which you receive the abilities.
* The abilities [[ProjectGorgon:Spontaneous Fireball|Spontaneous Fireball]] and [[ProjectGorgon:Spontaneous Warmthball|Spontaneous Warmthball]] are not classified as [[ProjectGorgon:Fire Magic|Fire Magic]] abilities, but can be learned when completing the appropriate level research recipes.

=== Fire Wall ===
An interesting mechanic is that [[ProjectGorgon:Fire Magic|Fire Magic]] has a “Fire Wall” pet that just stands around and burns things. It’s implemented as a pet internally, but since it’s a wall, it can’t follow you around. It’s more like a trap. It can also be killed by enemies.

Fire wall has several variants that can be learned at level 65 or higher. These include [[ProjectGorgon:Wall of Healing Flame|Wall of Healing Flame]], [[ProjectGorgon:Summon Magmasphere|Summon Magmasphere]], [[ProjectGorgon:Wall of Coldfire|Wall of Coldfire]], and [[ProjectGorgon:Wall of Smarmy Flame|Wall of Smarmy Flame]]. You can learn the recipe to research these spells from the training orb at [[ProjectGorgon:Reinath|Reinath]] in the [[ProjectGorgon:Nightmare Caves|Nightmare Caves]], or from [[ProjectGorgon:Guzor Harrison|Guzor Harrison]] in [[ProjectGorgon:Statehelm|Statehelm]] after completing his quest to join the academy.

=== Weapons ===
Not all staffs are produced with the proper runes to handle the use of magic. Casting [[ProjectGorgon:Fire Magic|Fire Magic]] requires the use of a [[ProjectGorgon::Category:Items/FireStaff|Fire Staff]].
<dpl>
  category   = Items/FireStaff

===== Orbs =====
Fire Magic wielders may also use an offhand Heat Orb to augment their abilities.

  reset      = categories
