...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. Exposing matter to fire provokes a complex alchemical reaction that results in the release of phlogiston, the very substance fueling 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 if that wasn't the case.

...As for the practical application, I've discovered a way of using the released phlogiston to empower 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 illiterate simpletons?

All the formulas I discovered are listed below along with step by step instructions. But I implore you, if you decide to repeat my experiments, then by the Host, exercise extreme caution...
