Feature: Pyrology
Given your expertise with burning things, you are fairly adept at identifying what caused it. Any time you come across a burnt object or creature, you are able to determine what was burnt, what was used to burn it, and how long ago the fire started. You also know exactly how to start a fire. You have advantage on fire damage rolls against objects if you spend 30 seconds concentrating on it beforehand
