Purifying Fire (Chant)

Sidebar Heart of the Forge This chant destroys the magical power of a metal item by bathing it in cleansing flame. The chant alters the color of the forge-fire from orange to an odd mix of orange and purple; this change indicates that the chant has succeeded. No matter how flammable an item might be, it does not burn while held in the purifying fire.

The chant functions just as a dispel magic does, but it disenchants the affected item completely and without the need for a percentage die roll to determine success. A purifying fire chant always removes all charges or enchantments from an item; it cannot selectively remove harmful powers while retaining beneficial ones.

The material components for purifying fire are coke and phlogiston (from the Plane of Fire) or fire elemental essence, both of which are consumed as fuel for the spell's fire.
