Pyroclastic Bloodline
The blood of the earth pulses within you. Your appearance changes as your tie to the earth manifests in a dramatic way. The skin along your elbows and brow become rough as bits of obsidian protrude from beneath. Your eyes shine like hot coals as sparks of lightning dance beyond them. Your blood has thickened and shines as lava when spilt and quickly cools and hardens. In states of high emotion your hair almost seems to glow and your scars and injuries shine as molten cracks.
Forged in Fire
The arcane magic you command is infused with the primal blood of the earth. You can speak, read,and write Primordial (in the Ignan or Terran dialects).
