Pyromancy is an art of fire-bending used in Dark Souls III and created by Quelana of Izalith.
General information
In Dark Souls III, pyromancies are aligned with both Faith and Intelligence. To cast a pyromancy, the player requires a Pyromancy Flame as a catalyst. The player can only attune pyromancies by resting at a bonfire.
Pyromancies can be purchased from Cornyx of the Great Swamp or Karla with the discovery of Pyromancy Tomes found in the game. Other pyromancies can be found as lootable items on corpses, inside of chests, or as rewards for ranking up in certain covenants.
