Discipline of Thermal Energy

The discipline concerned with manipulating the various forms of Thermal Energy, Thermostracy is one of the most thoroughly understood forms of magic, and has been lighting campfires and preserving food for centuries.

In pre-modern times, those practiced in Thermostracy can find work anywhere heat is useful, from forges to taverns — and being able to suppress or remove heat was a key tool in temporary refrigeration. As time marches on, the majority of magicians find themselves working in the industrial fields where they serve more as a form of safety than production, keeping anything from nuclear generators to smelting facilities from suffering catastrophic errors.

Thermostracy is particularly useful for combat and technical activities — it is Thermostracy that is responsible for the fabled Fireball and Frost Lance spells that have turned numerous conflicts into one-sided skirmishes.
