The pyromancer can raise the temperature of a single metal object, eventually to its melting point. The rate of heating is 100 degrees per round. There is no limit to the temperature that can be achieved. The number of rounds required to various metals is as indicated below:
Metal Soften Melt
Soft metals (gold, lead) 2 3
Copper 3 5
Hard metals (steel) 4 6
Adamantine 5 7
Mithril (in raw form) 6 8
If this discipline is used on metal armor, the armor loses 2 points of protection when it becomes soft. Contact with hot objects causes 1d6 (+1 per 50 degrees over 200 degrees) per round of contact. Once concentration ceases, the metal object cools at a rate of 50 degrees per round or triple that if immersed in water. This discipline requires full concentration. |
