Pyrotic Training
The Pyrotic Element is used to describe effects driven by fire or an extreme source of heat. Fire and laser effects are often linked to a source of Pyrotic energies.

Investing in a Pyrotic Training will enhance a Character’s Pyrotic Heroic Action Effects, and Damage Resistance against Pyrotic Damage from any source at every Odd Rank and their Attack and Damage Rolls with Weapons that deal Pyrotic Damage and their Critical Damage dealt with any Weapon on Even Ranks. At Rank Five(5) and Ten(10), the Character’s Base Scale with any Weapon increases by plus One(+1), permanently increasing their Weapon Damage with all Weapons.
