| {{:abilities:resist_fire.png?nolink }} [[Fire Resistance|Fire]] is the element-of-choice for Fire's damaging spells, of which there are many. Fire is typically [[Armor-Piercing]], so it ignores half of the target's [[Protection]]. Likewise, Fire Resistance may pose an issue, but it rarely comes in quantities needed to negate them. | {{:abilities:resist_fire.png?nolink }} [[Fire Resistance|Fire]] is the element-of-choice for Fire's damaging spells, of which there are many.

| The four Elements have a variety of checks and balances against each other, even against themselves. Likewise, Fire is rather-infamously countered by itself, [[Water]], and [[Earth]]. Water in particular has counters for most of its tricks, including the infamous [[Weather|Rain]]; fortunately for Fire Mages, the counterspells are also largely negated in their countering, and Dominions 6 nerfed Rain quite a bit. | The four Elements have a variety of checks and balances against each other, even against themselves.

| | ==== Crosspaths ==== |
| | |
| | The following effects have Fire as the **primary** path. |
| | |
| | * Fire/**[[Air]]**: Burning Clouds, and [[scales#Temperature|Heat]]-Dumping for distant provinces. |
| | * Fire/**[[Water]]**: Boiling small portions of the [[underwater|ocean]]. |
| | * Fire/**[[Earth]]**: Terracotta soldiers, fire-spewing Iron Gryphons, Scorpion Beasts, and Volcanic Eruptions. |
| | * Fire/**[[Astral]]**: "Solar" magic, such as Solar Eclipses, unusual flames, and giving yourself an Inner Sun. |
| | * Fire/**[[Death]]**: Nothing with Fire as the primary path, unfortunately. |
| | * Fire/**[[Nature]]**: Fire Ants and Furies/Erinyes. |
| | * Fire/**[[Glamour]]**: Nothing with Fire as the primary path, unfortunately. |
| | |
| | ===== Indirect Magic ===== |
| | |
| | {{:misc:magic:fire.png?nolink }} A Fire Mage with {{path>F3}} has 5 points of [[Fire Resistance]], due to their greater attunement with that path. One with {{path>F4}} or higher has 10 points of Fire Resistance, instead. |
| | |
| | {{:dom6:stats:age.png?nolink }} Having the fire inside of you causes you to "burn out" a little quicker; each level reduces the unit's **Max [[Age]]** by an additive 5%. This doesn't apply to [[Demon|Demons]], [[Undead]], or [[Inanimate|Inanimates]]. |
| | |
| | {{:misc:gui:leadership.png?nolink }} {{:misc:gui:magicleadership.png?nolink }} Lastly, aside from the typical 10 points of [[Magic Leadership]] per level, Fire Mages get 10 points of //regular// [[Leadership]] as well. The fire makes them far more noteworthy. |
| | |
| | ==== Path Boosting ==== |
| | |
| | There are eleven [[items]] that boost Fire, but five are Artifacts, and only three require Fire as one of the forger's paths. The ??Skull of Fire?? requires {{path>F1D1}} and [[Construction]] Level 7, the ??Flame Helmet?? requires {{path>F4}} but only Construction Level 5, and one form of the ??Staff of Elemental Mastery?? requires {{path>F4W4}} and Construction Level 7. |
| | |
| | ??Summon Phoenix Power?? is the path-boosting spell for Fire. It requires {{path>F2}}. |
