 {{flavour|Fire Elementalists have learned the Foxfire spell. Their other starting spells are likewise focused on fiery destruction.}}
 '''Fire Elementalists''' are mages who have specialized in [[Fire Magic]]. This sets them up for greater destructive power than most spellcasters, particularly in the realm of [[Conjurations]], but leaves them without any sort of support or defensive magic in the early game.

 Fire Elementalists struggle slightly at XL 1, due to the finicky nature of [[Foxfire]]. While Foxfire has perfect accuracy and strong damage, it requires open tiles to create and traverse through. Beware of hallways! In a pinch, you can stand in the corner of a hallway, opening up a diagonal to allow foxfires behind you to pass. [[Scorch]] is easier to use, but has its own quirks: it is limited to 3 range and targets randomly. However, Scorch also makes targets vulnerable to fire, giving it plenty of use throughout the Dungeon.
-The level 3 spells can also be difficult to use. [[Conjure Flame]] creates a useful defensive barrier, or an effective source of damage, depending if your monsters are willing to walk into the flames. However - it requires either enough room for the flames to properly catch before something can smother them, or a willingness on the caster's part to set themselves on fire. [[Inner Flame]], meanwhile, can easily result in [[YASD]] if the caster doesn't make sure to leave room between themselves and any impending explosions. Both these spells ''do'' have uses; see their respective pages for more details.

 Finally, [[Flame Wave]] deals great damage to every foe in the surrounding area, especially for a level 4 spell. Flame Wave can be channeled; able to be cast twice more with a greater range for only 1 MP. However, don't get too greedy; Flame Wave has a small radius, and nearby monsters might be able to tear you apart.
 ==History==
 *In [[0.29]], most backgrounds were buffed; all Mage backgrounds gained a [[potion of magic]].
 *Prior to [[0.28]], Fire Elmentalists started with [[Sticky Flame]] and [[Fireball]] instead of [[Scorch]] and [[Flame Wave]].

-Fire Elementalists are particularly destructive magicians; only [[Conjurer]]s have a comparable set of damaging spells. All 3 of FE's direct [[Conjurations]] are on the stronger side, and can never be [[ev]]aded - which contributes more to damage than you'd think.

 As most Fire spells are also [[Conjuration]]s, it may be worthwhile to focus on training that skill (over Fire Magic) in order to have more spell options later on.

-Fire elementalists struggle slightly at XL 1, due to the finicky nature of [[Foxfire]]. While Foxfire has perfect accuracy and fair damage, it requires an open space to create and traverse through. Beware of hallways! [[Scorch]] is easier to use, but has its own quirks: it is limited to 3 range and targets randomly. However, Scorch also makes targets vulnerable to fire, giving it plenty of use throughout the Dungeon.
