Self-immolate (Sp) - For three rounds per disciple level, the caster takes 1d4 damage, but deals 1d4 per caster level of fire damage to all creatures within 10'. While immolated, the caster may not cast non-fire-based spells, however those spells that are cast do an additional 1d6 per caster level / 2 of damage. This effect may be activated in place of the caster's move action to start the effect in the present round.

Burn (Ex) - When struck in melee combat, the attacker must make a reflex save (DC 14+Disciple level) or be set ablaze for 1d4 rounds per disciple level. The fire effect does 1d6 fire damage per round. The burning creature may extinguish itself as a full-round action.

Minor Elemental Swarm (Sp) - Casting time: 2 minutes. Duration: 10 minutes / caster level. This spell opens a portal to an Elemental Plane and summons elementals from it.

When the spell is complete, 2d4 small fire elementals appear. Five minutes later, 1d4 medium elementals appear. Five minutes after that, one large elemental appears. Each elemental has maximum hit points per HD. Once these creatures appear, they serve you for the duration of the spell.

The elementals obey you explicitly and never attack you, even if someone else manages to gain control over them. You do not need to concentrate to maintain control over the elementals. You can dismiss them singly or in groups at any time
