Description[]
Heat and ash, inescapable.
You have stood in the flames of a dragon, and found them wanting. The might of a natural disaster, summoned to your will, and brought upon your enemies. The Pyroclastic Storm is inevitable, ceaseless, and certain death. A moving cascade of smoke, ash, and volcanic glass, burning with the heat of a planet’s core, summoned by the Pyroclastic Storm, embodiment of heat. No magic, flesh, nor space itself shall stand in the face of your creation. Bring terror to the very hearts of your enemies, as ash and heat descends, blotting out the very suns.
Ilea's reaction:[]
Fuck yeah. Now this, this is what I want! Ash, but not divine. Smoke and volcanic glass as well? That’s like becoming an actual volcano, without the lava I guess, but ash is better anyway.
Between the goddess one and this, we have a clear fucking winner.

Class Skills[]
Ilea kept the following skills unchanged from her previous class: Vision of Ash, Embered Form.
Active: Ash Scale Armor [Enhanced][]
[Mantle of the Titan] becomes [Ash Scale Armor]
An armor of ash and hardened volcanic glass scales protects and fuses partially with your body, forming at your will. The Armor increases your resistance to heat and fire, as well as your overall resilience by 200% [3200%].
2nd stage: The strength of your Resistance skills and your wings also benefit from Ash Scale Armor. The Armor is a part of your body. It benefits from natural regeneration. You can feel through your armor and you can heal it. Your Ash Scale Armor repairs minor damage on its own. If your armor is penetrated to the lowest layer, an explosion of heated smoke and volcanic glass is released at your enemy if you do not suppress the effect.
3rd stage: Increases the defensive capabilities of all ash you control. Increase the ash used to form your armor by up to a static 500%. The additional ash used requires conscious manipulation. You may use Ash Scale Armor to defend willing allies. Amount of required ash dependent on size of the target. You may increase the ash used by another static 500%, reducing your total speed by a static 15% for each 100% of additional increase.
Category: Body Enhancement – Ashen magic
Active: Draconic Core [Enhanced][]
[Titan Core] becomes [Draconic Core]
Heat glows within you, raising your resilience, speed, Strength, Intelligence and Dexterity by 100% [1850%]. You learn how to generate and store vast amounts of heat within your Draconic Core or your magical constructs.
2nd stage: The longer you fight with Draconic Core active, the deeper it roots. Each second of fighting adds 1% more power to the skill with a maximum of a static [250%]. Once no longer engaged in battle, 1% of additionally generated power is lost per second.
3rd stage: Familiarity with the skill removes its upkeep. You can choose to increase your weight by 1% [18.5%] for each passing second to a maximum of a static [1500%], increasing your natural health regeneration, heat generation, and resilience by the same factor.
Category: Aura – Body Enhancement – Ashen Magic - Fire Magic
Active: Pyroclastic Flow [Enhanced][]
[Origin of Ash and Embers] becomes [Pyroclastic Flow]
Create ash, smoke, and volcanic glass in a certain radius around you.
2nd stage: You may vastly increase the density and heat of your ash, smoke, and volcanic glass.
3rd stage: You have proven your dedication. The Pyroclastic Flow moves to aid and destroy at your whims. The amount of ash, smoke, and volcanic glass you can create is vastly increased.
4th tier: You are the Pyroclastic Storm. The Fourth Tier allows for true harmony.
Category: Ashen Magic – Fire Magic
Active: Volcanic Source [Enhanced][]
[Embered Heart] becomes [Volcanic Source]
Vastly increase the heat in your body and release it in a blast or continuous heat around you.
2nd stage: The fires run deep. The heat you may reach is only limited by your very life. Your resistance to heat held within your body is tripled.
3rd stage: Focus on release to change the blast into a cone of destruction sent out of either arm. You may store heat within any ash, smoke, or volcanic glass that you control. Creations not connected to you release their stored heat upon a strong impact in a blast around it or when you will it. You learn to send out any stored heat as waves through your Pyroclastic Flow.
Category: Body Enhancement – Ashen Magic – Fire Magic
Active: Scorching Intrusion [Enhanced][]
[Tempered Seal] becomes [Scorching Intrusion]
Burn the inside of whatever your body or your magical constructs touch with a surge of heat or release the attack in a violent burst.
2nd stage: The heat burns on. Targets hit will have fire burning through or on them. Continuous use of Scorching Intrusion will increase the stored energy up to a breaking point where all is released in a violent explosion of fire and heat. Breaking point is dependent on enemy resilience and heat resistance.
3rd stage: Scorching Intrusion damages mana intrusion capabilities of defensive enchantments, natural- as well as manufactured armor. Once a target is affected by Scorching Intrusion and in contact with your body or your magical constructs, you may increase the stored heat for up to a static 1000 mana per second to faster reach the breaking point.

Passive: Mastery of Ash [Enhanced][]
[Authority of Ash and Ember] becomes [Mastery of Ash]
You are one with Ash and Heat, your creations blotting out the very suns.
2nd stage: Your understanding grows, allowing you to create greater change in ash, smoke, and volcanic glass. Imbue mana and complex commands into your creations. Ash and volcanic glass you imbue retains its form until the mana is used up. Imbued creations retain a static 10% of your ambient and enemy spell mana absorption.
3rd stage: The elements themselves become an extension of your body, an extension of your will, for as long as they stay in physical contact with you. Ash and volcanic glass not connected benefits from passive abilities enhancing your body. You may imbue commands into ash and ember you have imbued with mana. Once per hour, you may create up to 25 copies of your form made of ash and volcanic glass, all instantly imbued with the same or separate complex commands. Each copy receives one random Class skill from any of your Classes. Should a spell require health or stamina to function, you may choose to imbue these resources as well. Copies lose access to this skill after initially imbued resources are used up.
Category: Ashen magic
Passive: Draconic Ash Wings [Enhanced][]
[Ashen Wings] becomes [Draconic Ash Wings]
Your understanding of the Pyroclastic Flow allows you to create scaled wings from ash and volcanic glass. Bring terror from above and deliver your wrath, your wings carrying you no matter how dense, how heavy, or how injured you are.
2nd stage: Your wings become more dense and tangible, able to help you defend and attack. When active, your wings become a part of your body.
3rd stage: Shape and form your wings to your liking, now directly affected by your control. An added tail shall make you one with the skies above, not a mere human imitating flight but one who revels in it. You may charge your wings with mana and stamina to dramatically increase your flight velocity at the cost of heavily reduced control. Your resilience is increased greatly during a charged flight. If wings are active, this charge may be applied to created magical constructs for a vast increase in the velocity of projectiles. Resilience bonuses do not apply to such constructs.
