Via Flam

From Unwritten Legends Wiki
Via Flam Arcane Magic
This circle is available to Wizards.

One of the four standard elemental circles, fire magicks are considered some of the oldest known to mage-kind. It was a dedicated study of this circle that lead illusionists to the outgrowth of their specialized magic (and subsequent forsaking a sole dedication to the Arcane sphere). This circle is mutually exclusive to Via Glas.
