Pyromania

Trunk-only: This article pertains to a feature of Crawl which is being tested. It will likely change before the next release, and may even be removed entirely.

It enhances the wearer's fire magic and may unleash a blast of flames around the wearer at the end of any turn in which they killed an enemy through any means besides attacks.

Pyromania is an ego exclusive to orbs. It provides a spell enhancer to Fire Magic. Also, after killing an enemy with a non-weapon, non-unarmed attack, it may damage all creatures within 3 tiles of the character (only 1 kill per turn is considered).

The chance of an explosion is 23 + Evocations%, though to avoid making excess noise, the explosion will never occur if there are no enemies for it to hit. Its damage is 3d(6.66 + 4*Evocations/6).
