Fulgur
BURN!
Fulgur
History
Galdr, and by extension Fulgur, is one of the most ancient forms of Arcana; it has existed since before even the fae and predates the Metaphor of Luxium over which it holds governance. As such, its true origins have been lost to the winds of time. Like the other elemental Arcana, practitioners of Fulgur can be found within any society that allows or puts value unto the arcane arts and many that don’t. It has proven invaluable to the development of any industry that utilizes fire or electric currents, which is pretty much all of them.
Acquisition
Like all forms of Galdr, Fulgur is spread from one sorcerer unto another. Unfortunately, only about half of initiates survive.
- In order to begin, the mark of Fulgur is inscribed into the tissue (be it skin, muscle or bone) using the initiator's aether and then bodily fluids of the donor - most often blood - are offered to the initiate, forcing the student to undergo their spiritual trial forthwith.
- Though they are all uniquely unpleasant, Fulgur is noted to have one of the most distinctly painful initiations out of all Galdr. However, provided nothing too vital is immolated beyond repair, the initiate will level out and their symptoms will wane into moderate Mageburn over the course of a few hours. Rarely, the initiation might last up to a day.

Spells
Pyromancy
The most flexible spell within a Fulguri’s repertoire is their ability to conjure and manipulate flame. They may do things such as conjure bolts to great balls of fire, blazing beams, walls of flame, and so on– they need only the imagination and the skill to pull it off.
Fulguratio
Through a special technique, the Fulguri may alter the flames of their Pyromancy and convert them to electric current. One may simply create arcing bolts of lightning, but a keener mind will find ways to manipulate the electric currents all around them.
When paired with the Stormcalling of Zephyr, Fulguratio can be even more devastating.
Infernosight
By invoking this spell, the Fulguri’s eyes blaze with an inner fire, thereby allowing them to perceive heat signatures and see through darkness with an enhanced, fiery vision. At higher tiers, they’ll even be able to see heat signatures through structures.
Flameweaver’s Embrace
Through this technique, the Fulguri may truly embody the fire that burns within. They may convert parts of their bodies to flame, and at its height, entirely shift themselves into a blazing inferno.

Artifacts
To craft with Fulgur, one must find and work alongside a Fulguri or acquire the Arcana themselves. Galdr, having stemmed from Aether itself, does not provide materials from the Galsterei, but rather, the Galsterei infuses the crafts with their Aether and thus their intent. Otherwise, Sundered Artifacts may be crafted from the Galsterei directly.
Some examples of crafts an Fulguri might assist with include:
