Magical Style: Spells of the Fire-Spears

Fire Clan

Fire Clan is a major clan of the Pict Nation, the most populous Barbarian humans in the West.  Fire Clan is made up of mages only, and adopts their non-mage children out to other Pict tribes, as well as “acquiring” those tribes’ mage-born children. Fire Clan is dedicated to the worship of Vendra, Titan of Flame. Fire Clan has many different teachings, and what style a child will be brought up in is determined by his aptitude and abilities.  Seers, warriors, summoners, and priests all have their own distinct traditions.

*: This is a Secret Spell.

†: This spell’s prerequisites have been altered.

Secret Material

Fire Salts
The ashy remains of a Fire Elemental, prepared correctly, become a potent one-use magical energy source.  Not all Fire Elementals leave this residue; those brought to the Material World via a spell never do, while those native to the Material World almost always will.

Transforming the ash to Fire Salts needs a lab, takes an hour, and requires a Thaumatology-3 roll by someone with the Secret Material (Fire Salts) perk.  Any success produces a crystalline powder containing energy equal to the margin of success (minimum 1), up to the starting HP of the Fire Elemental.  This may be used like a Manastone to power any spell of the College of Fire.

Secret Spell

Blast Ball
Missile

See GURPS Magical Styles: Dungeon Magic page 19.  Prerequisites are changed to Explosive Fireball and Essential Flame.
