Pyromancers are master elementalists with the ability to create and manipulate fire. They are able to focus their ki energy until it manifests itself as fire and even lightning

Pyromancers have excellent offensive capability, and many pyromancers focus on their raw offensive power. As such pyromancers are often believed to be lacking in utility and defensive abilities, but nothing could be further from the truth. Pyromancers prize quick reflexes and strength, either of mind or body

Some pyromancers walk a different path, one which unites the destructive nature of fire with the harmonious quality of nature. Through a mixture of meditation, epiphany, and sheer force of will, they enable their ki to burn hot and to flow smoothly simultaneously, creating the white fire. This fire does little to no damage to the physical body, but still affects the subtle body. This allows a path of peace pyromancer to subdue attackers without physical violence. This transformation affects all flame produced by the pyromancer, and cannot be undone by normal means
