Goranar lives by making shows of fire, light, and colors. He is a traveling maker of fireworks, though his real heart is in turning their discharge into complex performances. The bigger, the more colorful, the more picturesque, the better. He often finds his work sought after to be framework for other performances, part of bigger festivals or theatrical shows. He doesn't mind, as long as he gets to do his job.

As his fireshows can be very captivating and noisy, it's only a matter of time when someone decides to use his performance as a distraction to cover some cunning plan, a jest, or an intrigue. With or without his cooperation.

New Alchemist Discoveries

Flash Bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose it to work like pyrotechnics spell (with the bomb acting like its own source of fire), filling area equal to twice the bomb's splash radius. Additionally, the alchemist can set any of his bombs to produce explosions of unusal color, including complex patterns of color. An alchemist must possess smoke bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.

Glitter Bomb*: When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose it to work like glitterdust spell, filling area equal to twice the bomb's splash radius. Additionally, the alchemist can set any of his cloud-producing bombs to have unusual color, including complex patterns of color. An alchemist must possess smoke bomb discovery before selecting this discovery.
