View source for Ascended Pyromancy Flame (3.5e Equipment)

=== Combat Options ===

An ''ascended pyromancy flame'' functions like a normal [[Pyromancy Flame (3.5e Equipment)|pyromancy flame]], but gets the following additional abilities depending on the strength of the flame.

'''''Ascended Fire Orb {{Su}}:''''' The ascended fire orb functions like the [[Pyromancy Flame (3.5e Equipment)|pyromancy flame]]'s fire orb, except that it has a range of 60 feet and uses the increased bonus damage (see above table).

'''Spell Slots:''' The ascended pyromancy flame contains one spell slot of every level a spellcaster of your character level can cast, up to the maximum spell level the ascended pyromancy flame supports (see table).

If you have a prepared spellcasting class, you can use your pyromancy flame's spell slots to prepare [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]] spells you know as a member of that class.

If you have a spontaneous spellcasting class, you can use your pyromancy flame's slots to spontaneously convert to [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]] spells you know as a member of that class.

'''{{Anchor|Assimilate Flame}}:''' A +2 or higher ascended pyromancy flame confers a unique understanding of the nature of flame-based magic on its user. Whenever an ascended pyromancy flame burns a scroll or any other item containing a specific spell with the [[SRD:Fire Effect|Fire]] descriptor (an action that requires 1 [[SRD:Round|round]] per spell level), the essence of that spell is assimilated by the flame. An ascended pyromancy flame cannot assimilate a spell above its maximum spell level. 

A ascended pyromancy flame is capable of holding up to three fire spells of every level that it can assimilate. If you wish to assimilate a fourth spell of any specific level, a previously assimilated spell of that level must be overwritten.

An ascended pyromancy flame's spell slots can be used to spontaneously cast assimilated spells. 

'''{{Anchor|Flame Guard}} {{Su}}:''' The user of a +3 or higher ascended pyromancy flame gains [[SRD:Spell Resistance|spell resistance]] 10 + his character level + his ascended pyromancy flame's [[SRD:Enhancement Bonus|enhancement bonus]] against [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]] [[SRD:Spells|spells]]. 

'''{{Anchor|Flame Mastery}} {{Su}}:''' The user of a +4 or higher ascended pyromancy flame gains the [[SRD:Archmage|archmage]]'s ''Mastery of Shaping'' with respect to [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]]-based [[SRD:Spells|spells]] cast with the flame as the focus. If the caster of a hostile fire spell fails its check against the user's [[SRD:Spell Resistance|spell resistance]] (see Flame Guard), he may use Mastery of Shaping on the spell as if it is his own before the spell's effects are resolved.

'''{{Anchor|Flame Dominion}} {{Su}}:''' The user of a +5 ascended pyromancy flame can dominate the magical flames in his surroundings. Whenever a [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]] [[SRD:Spells|spell]] is cast in his vicinity, he may choose to hold out his ascended pyromancy flame hand and try and 'dominate' it as an [[SRD:Immediate Actions|immediate action]]. If he does so, a [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] check is forced against the user's [[SRD:Spell Resistance|spell resistance]] against fire spells and if that check is a failure, the spell is absorbed into the ascended pyromancy flame and affected as per [[#Assimilate Flame|Assimilate Flame]].

Prerequisites: [[SRD:Craft Wondrous Item|Craft Wondrous Item]], a sufficiently potent fiery essence, and a [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] equal to 5 plus the flame's [[SRD:Enhancement Bonus|enhancement bonus]] ×3.<br />
Cost: 10,000 gp (+1), 40,000 gp (+2), 90,000 gp (+3), 160,000 gp (+4), 250,000 gp (+5).
