Pyromancy is a Psychic Discipline that allows the Psyker to create and manipulate fire. The practitioners Pyromancy are known as Pyromancers[1] or Pyrokines.[6a] Pyromancy is one of the most common and spectacular forms of psychic ability, but its uses are fairly limited.[9]

Abilities

  • Fiery Form: The Pyromancer transforms himself into pure flame, striking out at his foes and setting their souls ablaze.[1]
  • Fire Shield: The Pyromancer throws up a towering wall of flame to protect him and his allies.[1]
  • Flame Breath: A torrent of psychic flames pour from the Psykers eyes and mouth.[1]
  • Inferno: The Psyker sets the air itself aflame, creating a whirling pillar of fire to sweep through enemy ranks.[1]
  • Molten Beam: The Pyromancer blasts a white-hot beam of blazing energy from his palms.[1]
  • Sunburst: The Psyker sings a wild, ancient song derived from the Warp. As he does, an aura appears around him. When his song ends the aura explodes, creating a blinding flash.[1]
  • Spontaneous Combustion: Focusing his anger, the Pyromancer can melt and incinerate his foes in an instant. When his rage subsides, the victims explode.[1]

  • Blinding Flash - The psyker releases a blaze of power, blinding anyone looking at them.[9]
  • Burning Fist - The psyker's hands are wreathed in spitting flames, causing targets they touch to catch fire.[9]

The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here.

  • The colour of a psyker's fire can vary. Colours can range from the typical robust yellow-orange[4][7] to gold[10] or yellow, to white, to an increasingly ferocious blue-white.[7][8] Some flames are even purple-edged.[6c] The colour seemingly equating to temperature and amount of power the pyrokine is using for the ability.
  • Some pyrokines can even exert unnatural physical force with their flames.[6c]
