====== Fireborn ======
{{:images:fireborn.base.111.png }}
Legends say that fireborn are sparks struck off the anvil of creation, with life and spirit, and eventually mind. Those who research magic think that they are relatives of some kind to will o' wisps. An observer seeing one for the first time would see a strangely intelligent vortex of flame somehow carrying items without burning them.

Their insubstantial nature makes them both very weak and very quick. Their minds are agile, and they can commune well with the [[:gods]]. However, their area of excellence is magic. They spell cast more powerfully than any other [[:races|race]], and [[characters:mana]] flows into them readily. They can even cast cold spells with devastating effectiveness.  They all know a basic fire spell.

They can levitate at will, and they can touch to burn. As they gain more power, they are increasingly difficult to hit with weapons. However, they cannot use weapons or armour, and thereby miss out on many benefits (including powerful magical enchantments) those items may bring.

Fire does not harm them, nor poison. Cold, spiritual drain, and physical drain present great peril to them.

====Tips on playing====
  * Make sure to place initial stat points in [[characters:INT]] and [[characters:POW]].
  * When choosing class, make sure you note benefits of [[classes:Evoker]] and [[classes:Monk]].
  * When choosing a [[:gods|god]], remember you already cannot use weapons or armor.
  * Use the crystal from the very beginning; it makes you able to kill foes stronger than yourself.
  * Avoid direct contact with your enemies.
  * Take full advantage of the fact that your character is fire and poison resistant.
  * [[attack_types:Physical]] weakness is the most annoying drawback with fireborns; counter that by learning summoning spells, dancing sword or similar spells that enable you to break doors etc.
  * On higher levels, elementals can be your best friends - they may enable you to kill dangerous foes from a safe place.
