Abilities

Ability	From level	Costs	Does
Ember Hurl fire at a foe.	1	12 mana, 2.5 s cooldown	Damage Fire 10 (+2 a level)
Failed Knot Pavogani's form: a spell tied loose on purpose. Twice Ember's strength, but each cast it chooses its own school -- fire, ice, lightning, stone, shadow, water or air -- and the foe's resistance to that one is what counts.	1	24 mana, 6 s cooldown	Damage Fire 20 (+4 a level)
Unstable Core Elyntis's form: let it all out at once. A burst of fire on a foe -- the whole of it to that one, seven tenths to everything within four metres -- and 6% of your own health goes with it (never the last of it).	1	30 mana, 12 s cooldown	Damage Fire 30 (+5 a level)
Ignite Set a foe burning.	3	15 mana, 8 s cooldown	DamageOverTime Fire 4 (+1 a level) for 6 s
Fireball A ball of fire that bursts on a foe: the full blow to it, and three fifths of it to everything within three metres.	5	20 mana, 8 s cooldown	Damage Fire 14 (+2.4 a level)
Scorch A bolt of white-hot fire: it strikes, and the foe burns for three seconds after.	10	15 mana, 6 s cooldown	Damage Fire 8 (+1.6 a level); DamageOverTime Fire 3 (+0.6 a level) for 3 s
Cinder Brand The Hexblade's brand: your next three weapon blows each set the foe burning -- three a second for four seconds, a little more with your Fire Magic. Once every 20 seconds.	10	15 mana, 20 s cooldown
Hunting Embers Three embers leave your hand and hunt: each flies to a different foe, the closest first, and sets it burning for four seconds. You need no target. Embers with nothing to hunt go out.	15	22 mana, 12 s cooldown	Damage Fire 4 (+0.8 a level); DamageOverTime Fire 2 (+0.4 a level) for 4 s
Searing Ground A bolt that sets the ground alight where it strikes: a little fire on the foe, then for six seconds everything standing within three metres burns every second.	20	22 mana, 14 s cooldown	Damage Fire 4 (+0.8 a level); Damage Fire 2.5 (+0.5 a level)
Dark Pact The Hexblade's bargain: a tenth of your own health (never the last of it) for ten seconds of spells a fifth stronger. An offensive buff: it takes the place of another you hold. Once every 45 seconds.	30	45 s cooldown
