Fire Shaman

Description

Fire Shaman are a bit unpredictable, as fire elementals are untrustworthy, dangerous and fickle. The shaman who bind them tend to have something of that nature as well. While they have a reputation for pyromancy and mecurial tempers many Fire Shaman believe that fire is simply a part of the world and often even good for natural environments. They are fierce fighters, and unwilling to be bullied.
