The Balance Charter imposed by the Celestial Order mandates that all practitioners hold a license issued by the Flame-Council; large-scale eruptions, uncontrolled wildfires, and weaponized magma diversion are explicitly forbidden. Overuse causes elemental imbalance within the caster's own body, culminating in spontaneous and uncontrollable combustion.

Pyromancy was the theological and civic backbone of Pyrakian civilization, a divine inheritance from Pyrathon the Undying that justified their theocratic-meritocracy and defined every stratum of society from forge-worker to high priest. Its legacy passed directly into Drakonian Dragonfire Manipulation and Elemental Attunement through the Rite of Ember-Passing, making it the ancestral root of all draconic fire magic in Landorya.

It is written in the Cinder Codex that when Pyrathon the Undying first erupted from the planet's molten core, the Pyrakians wept flame rather than tears at the sight of their god. The Eternal Ember he placed in the heart of Ignis Aeterna became the first focal point of pyromantic instruction, and every license issued by the Flame-Council was considered a fragment of that original divine gift. Borgang the Dark Times, when surface fire was extinguished by catastrophe, Pyrakian masters sustained the art in deep magma chambers lit only by their own bodies, proof that the discipline had become inseparable from their very blood. Modern Drakonians hold that this same fire still pulses in their veins, carried forward by the Rite of Ember-Passing that transformed willing Pyrakians into the first dragon-kin.
