====== Phoenix Pyre ======

**??Phoenix Pyre??** is a notable [[Combat Magic|Buffing Spell]] from the path of [[Fire]], in that it has an effect that isn't completely fire-related: Extra Lives.

===== Mechanics =====

The spell is a [[Research|Level 7]] [[Alteration]] spell that requires {{path>F2}} and zero [[Gems]] to cast. It does nothing until the caster dies; when they die, they perform an **AOE 50** Death Explosion that does 10 Armor Piercing [[Fire Resistance|Fire Damage]], ??Blink?? to a random tile on the battlefield, and resurrect with full HP. **This can happen multiple times;** the only limiting factor is that it can't happen while the caster has 100 [[Fatigue]] or more, and that each resurrection accrues 30 Fatigue, with an [[DRN|expanding]] d20 added to the total.

===== Considerations =====

  * The spell itself costs 20 Fatigue to cast, if you're at {{path>F2}} or lower, plus Spellcasting Encumbrance; {{path>F3}} makes it 10, and {{path>F5}} makes it 5.
  * [[Shapechanger]] always triggers first, if it can. Even an especially-gruesome hit will leave you with a minimum of 1 HP.
  * [[Afflictions]] will remain.
  * Certain Mage corps may have counters at this point, such as {{path>S4}}, {{path>N3}}, and {{path>B2}} Mages being able to just steal your guy.
  * On that note, {{path>W4}}, {{path>S3}}, and {{path>D2}} Mages may have magical instakills, and the {{path>S3}} option explicitly bypasses Extra Lives.
  * Your caster may blow up your other Mages, if you're not careful with your scripting.
