Kindled Tome

Communication telepathy (Common, Pyric, and two other common languages)

A kindled tome is a book of lingering blazes 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 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 level to your specifications.
