Fiery Weapon (Su) Any weapon wielded by Mad Cultist Of Fire is infused with fiery aura dealing 1 point of bonus fire damage on hit and emanating dim light within 10 feet.

Scorching Ember (Su) Mad Cultist Of Fire can conujre and throw a burning ember once every 1d4 rounds as a standard action, using it as a thrown splash weapon with range increment of 10 feet that deals 2d4 points of fire damage on a direct hit and 2 points of fire damage in a 5 ft. splash. If Mad Cultist Of Fire misses and the scorching ember lands on an empty square or when he deliberately targets an empty square, he teleports to the square struck and becomes confused for 1 round.

Mad Cultist Of Fire's mind and body were touched by an alien power of flames and destruction, imbuing him with strange abilities and rampant lunacy.

Is he the only one? Are there more like him? Is the alien insanity contagious, or is the strange entity that imbued him offering something that can appeal to mortal beings? Is his appearance the start of the elemental apocalypse or merely a symptom of something even weirder?
