First off, some feats!
Flamecasting [General]You add an element of fire to your spell's components to make them more powerful.
Prerequisite: Con 13
Benefit:If you have a source of fire available as an additional material component (such as a candle, torch, or spell generating body flames, like
hand afire) to a spell when you cast it, the spell gains the fire descriptor. This does not actually change the nature of the spell you cast; a
cone of cold still deals cold damage, but it now carries the [Fire] descriptor; it can be augmented by a number of feats listed here.
If you add a source of fire to a spell when you cast it and that spell already has the [Fire] descriptor, you increase the effective level of the spell being cast by +1.
Adding this additional component requires you to spend a move action immediately before the spell is cast to focus on the source of fire. This fire may be magically created by a conjuration spell, but no other fire manifested by a spell will do. You may take no other action between focusing on the fire and casting the spell.
Blazing Magic [General]Your fire spells are more powerful when you cast them in a hot region.
Prerequisite: Con 13, Flamecasting
Benefit: In hot areas (temperature 90*+), spells with the [Fire] descriptor cast by you manifest at caster level +1.
In areas of extreme heat (temperature 140*+), [Fire] spells cast by you manifest at caster level +2.
Fire Focus [General]Your fire spells are more potent than normal.
Benefit: Add +1 to the DC for all saving throws against spells you cast with the [Fire] descriptor. This bonus stacks with similar bonuses, such as those granted by Spell Focus and Greater Spell Focus.
Greater Fire Focus [General]Your fire spells are now even more potent than normal.
Prerequisite: Cold Focus
Benefit: Add +1 to the DC for all saving throws against spells you cast with the [Fire] descriptor. This bonus stacks with similar bonuses, such as those granted by Fire Focus, Spell Focus, and Greater Spell Focus.
Fire Spell Specialization [General]You do additional damage with fire spells.
Prerequisite: Con 13, Flamecasting, Blazing Magic
Benefit: In hot areas (temperature 90*+), you gain a +1 bonus per die to any dice rolled to determine damage caused by [Fire] spells you cast. For example, if a 9th level wizard with this feat casts
fireball in a hot area, the spell does 9d6+9 points of damage.
In areas of extreme heat (temperature 140*+), the damage bonus increases to +2 per die.
