A kindled tome is a Book Of Lingering Blaze awakened to sapience and imbued with an enthusiasm for fire. It encourages you to learn new fire spells to inscribe within its pages. When you attempt a skill check to Learn A Spell to add a spell with the fire trait to the kindled tome, you treat your result as one step better than you rolled. The tome can be disparaging about other spells as "a waste of good page space," especially if those spells have the cold or water traits. In addition to the activation of a book of lingering blazes, a kindled tome has the following activations.


Activate 1 envision (spellshape)

Frequency once per day

Effect If your next action is to Cast a Spell dealing fire damage that you prepared from this grimoire, you superheat the flames, allowing the spell to ignore up to 10 resistance to fire of creatures affected by the spell.


Activate R (concentrate)

Frequency once per hour

Trigger You Cast a Spell with the fire trait

Effect The tome makes the flames linger, dealing 2d6 persistent,fire damage to all you hit with or who fail the saving throw against the effect (doubling on a critical success on a spell attack and on a critical failure on a saving throw).


Activate 2 (concentrate, manipulate)

Frequency once per day

Effect The tome casts Fireball at 5th rank to your specifications.

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic.
