Book content
...Either way, that's enough of me listing my accomplishments. If you're holding this treatise, then you are most likely a man of science as well, already closely familiar with my research. Let's not waste any time.
( . . . )
...The aforementioned experiments demonstrate that almost all matter in existence contains a certain amount of intangible, volatile substance called phlogiston. And when matter is exposed to fire, it provokes a complex alchemical reaction that results in the release of phlogiston, which further 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, preventing it from burning. Living creatures consist of blood and phlogiston, the latter is actually present in large quantities - that's why fire is so harmful to both men and beast. But there is a silver lining: if we weren't imbued with phlogiston, it would probably be impossible for us to perform pyromancy.
( . . . )
...As for practical applications, they're aplenty. After countless experiments, I've discovered a way of using the released phlogiston to empower magic flames. In fact, my discovery was so spectacular that my hapless neighbors ended up calling the city guard on me, claiming that I was trying to burn the city to the ground. But in all fairness, what else can you expect from illiterate simpletons?
( . . . )
All the formulas are listed below along with step by step instructions. Still, I implore you, if you decide to repeat my experiments, then by the Host, exercise extreme caution!..
