Fireball
This is the spell-form. This is the one all pyromancers despise. Not because it is not effective. Not because it is not powerful. But because this bloody thing is literally what far to many common folk and even reasonably well educated individuals expect to be the basic extent of their abilities. It is frustrating, and made even more frustrating by how potent and useful a spell-form it actually is.
Effect
Basic Effects: Drawing the flow of Doitean into the space between your hands, weaving it together and forcibly compressing it against its will, you form a small glowing orb that frustratingly enough, so many would believe is supposed to be the easiest thing in the world for you. This speck of ruby light manifests into the material realm, pushing against you in the Aether so much that it becomes visible BEFORE you've finished the spell-form's weaving, which should indicate to anyone remotely knowledgeable as to how extremely NOT easy this is to accomplish. Holding it together through your sheer will, you flick this unstable ball of pure fire manna under extreme pressure off in a direction, which it flies in almost to swiftly to be seen by the humanoid eye. When it arrives at the area you were aiming for, you can finally release your hold upon it mentally, which is likely to elicit a moan of relief and pleasure that is not entirely unsimilar to such sounds you may have heard in other places for other contextual reasons in your life. It feels that good to be rid of the thing, even after only those scant few seconds.
When it explodes out into a devastating storm of fire and fury covering a twenty foot radius, all creatures within that area must make a Agility Defensive Test. If they fail, they take 4d6 fire damage and are afflicted with the Ablaze condition. Creatures that successfully make the save take half damage and do not suffer the Ablaze Condition.
Firestorm: If a target being struck by the blast already is suffering from the Ablaze condition, they roll the Defensive Test against the Momentum.

Manifestation
Meriel swore softly, seeing the shit eating grin on her 'uncle' Durak's face. "Let me guess. The orks are coming. In a tight formation. That just begs for me to," she sighed and looked visibily upset and offended as she said the words, "weave a fucking fireball." "Aye lassie!" Durak told her loudly, insuring everyone nearby among the Susmian battle lines could hear. "That's right, they all grouped up nice and pretty for a fireball!" Meriel gave the dwarven braserker her sweetest, most venomous smile, letting her eyes go full ruby even as she smiled sweetly, expressing anger and love at once in a confusing facial expression that struck terror into many, but only elicited a belly laugh from the dwarf. "I'll make sure I replace all the whiskey with water at the next oasis, you can bet your beard on that." With that she sighed, moving her hands close together, weaving and forcing the small ruby ball of pure destruction to form, sweat beading on her forehead. As the first orks, riding massive hyena like creatures, came snarling and roaring over the last sand dunes some hundred feet away from their position, she released the spell, sending it whizzing off. The relief on her face was almost embarrassing amongst all these soldiers, as was the moan that escaped her lips, far to close in pitch to the moans she shared with her husband in their intimate moments. Of course no one really noticed, as in that same moment, a thunderous explosion, the whooshing of flames and ignition, and the shrieks of dying orks filled the air like a symphony of terror.
