Fire Elementalist

Version 0.18: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Fire Elementalists start with the book of Flames and know the Flame Tongue spell. The other spells in their book focus on destruction as well.

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.
