Quelana teaches her art to a select few students and now resides in Blighttown. Quelana is credited as the "mother of pyromancy" and is likely the originator of the primal pyromancies. Quelana of Izalith, a Daughter of Chaos, managed to flee the catastrophe created by her mother.

This also resulted in the birth of Pyromancy and all knowledge of flame sorcery has since vanished. In the wake of her failed attempt to recreate the First Flame, the Witch of Izalith and some of her daughters were engulfed in the newly formed Bed of Chaos. The Witch and her daughters used flame sorcery to challenge the ancient dragons, casting it from catalysts just as soul sorceries were. However, the speed of casting pyromancies can be increased through investing in the Dexterity attribute, the limit being 45 points in Dexterity before no further casting speed increases are given to the player, making pyromancies a far more viable choice for close range combat.īefore the creation of Pyromancy, flame sorceries were used by the Witch of Izalith, her Daughters of Chaos, and later by the Demon Firesage. It also makes pyromancies dangerous to use in close combat, especially against other players. This means that in order to use pyromancies properly, players must plan ahead and predict enemy movements. Unfortunately, many pyromancies share the deficiency of having limited range and having a slow casting time. (Note, the Ascended Pyromancy Flame does not scale with intelligence, despite the item indicating such) This means that players can use a high level Pyromancy Flame to deal high damage at low soul levels – making it useful for PvP. Rather, players may upgrade their Pyromancy Flame 15 times at any pyromancy teacher, then ascend once and upgrade their Ascended Pyromancy flame another 5 times to increase their damage output. Unlike Sorcery and Miracles, Pyromancies are unique in that they do not require a specific stat level, or scale with any stat. Upgrading a Pyromancy Flame can only be done through one of the formerly mentioned pyromancers, as well as Quelana of Izalith, who can ascend the flame further than Laurentius or Eingyi. To obtain one, one can choose the Pyromancer as their starting class, or talk to the pyromancy trainers: Laurentius of the Great Swamp after he is rescued and if the player does not already have a Pyromancy Flame, or Eingyi if the player has 11 Intelligence or higher. All pyromancies, even those not directly related to fire, are cast with a Pyromancy Flame.
