Flame Alchemist

Flame Alchemists are enigmatic masters of fire and transmutation, blending scientific precision with explosive passion. They harness the secrets of alchemy with intricate transmutation circles, manipulating the very oxygen in the air to conjure and control flames. Grounded in the doctrine of equivalent exchange, every fiery creation is balanced with a necessary sacrifice, making each act of combustion both creative and inherently destructive.
