Flame Transmuter

Flame Transmuters are alchemical adepts who draw on ambient heat, inscribing glowing transmutation circles to reshape it into weapons, barriers, or healing fire. Their art demands both scholarly study and intuitive quickness, for they must trace precise glyphs under duress and channel volatile energy without succumbing to the blaze. They stand between creation and destruction, turning mere flame into a versatile tool or a force of righteous wrath.
