The mage can bind the element of fire to his will by performing this ritual in a area where fire already exists. The ritual requires that the adept spent one hour in its performance during which he may not move or perform any other action. At the end of the ritual, the adept rolls a D100. If the resulting number is less than or equal to the caster's base chance, the ritual is a success and the fire source over which the ritual was cast is considered bound for a length of time equal to the ability of the adept to retain his concentration over it (max of 1 hour per rank).
A bound fire can be shaped by the mage who bound it into any desired form. Its size can be increased (to a size which is greater than its original size by a factor equal to the square of the mages rank). He can instill in the fire INT equal to half the caster's, etc.. The higher the rank of the caster the greater the results of the ritual. For example, whereas at rank 1, the mage could create a fire elemental which he would have to guide at every turn, at rank 10 the same fire creature might be endowed with free will, but would be loyal to the purposes of the mage. The ritual cannot be resisted except by an intelligent being composed of fire. |
