Either way, that's enough of me listing my accomplishments. If you read this tome, then you are most likely a man of science as well, already closely familiar with my research. Let's get down to it then.

...The aforementioned experiments demonstrate, that a major part of the entirety of all existing matter contains an intangible, volatile substance called phlogiston. When matter is affected by fire, there is a complex chemical reaction, resulting in matter releasing phlogiston, the very substance which fuels the flames. For instance, wood is nothing but a mix of ashes and phlogiston, metal is a combination of phlogiston and calx, and stone doesn't contain any phlogiston at all. Living creatures consist of blood and phlogiston, the latter is actually present in large quantities - that's why fire is so harmful to all things living. But there is a silver lining: it would probably be impossible for us to perform pyromancy otherwise.

...Considering the practical application, I've discovered a way to use released phlogiston to fuel magic flames. In fact, my discovery was so successful that my hapless neighbors ended up calling the city guard on me, suspecting that I wanted to burn the city to the ground, but what else can you expect from these illiterate simpletons?

I've attached all the relevant formulas along with step by step instructions, but please, if you decide to repeat my experiments, then by the Host, exercise extreme caution...
