Description

You distill Caloric from the world about you, then engender the Spark into a warm, flavorful essence that skips over the tongue with a fiery swirl, leaving a rich, long-lasting after-effect of fire.

A magical fire warms your belly, granting you 3 points of Resistance against cold-based Environmental Effects, as well as ER Common/5, but only against Fire and Cold damage. The ER/Common increases to ten points at level 10, 15 points at level 20, and 20 points at level thirty, although the environmental benefits, alas, are fixed.

The banked flames in your belly grant a comfortable sense of bonhomie, as well as making your midriff cozily warm to the touch (but not enough to damage you or anything else). This cozy warmth acts as a weak campfire, lending others adjacent to your space immunity to Cold-based non-lethal Environmental Effects. Cuddly!

You may choose to end the effect early. As a standard action, you can breathe a 15-foot cone of flame (a 3x3 square space adjacent to your space) that deals (Circle 1 damage): 1d6 points of damage per character level (max 4d6 at character level 4) of fire (energy, common) damage. Affected targets are allowed a save as above for half damage.
