Waxen Pinion

"Do I have to… sit and watch my colleagues die, again…?"

Your passion has developed to the point where it can heat up the weapons you wield. But, at the very back of your mind, there's an oh so quiet voice, nagging at your mind. You can't make out the words, but the voice sounds like sunshine...

Passion - Level 3

When making a weapon attack, you can convert the Bludgeoning, Slashing, or Piercing damage on the weapon into Fire damage. Your attacks that deal fire damage deal (Your proficiency bonus) more fire damage.

Rue - Level 7

When an attack hits you, but before you take damage, you can use a reaction to gain (1d6 + Proficiency bonus) temporary hit points, these temporary hit points can stack with other sources of temporary hit points, but are removed at the start of your next turn.

At level 10, you gain (1d8 + proficiency bonus) temporary hit points instead.
At level 15, you gain (2d6 + proficiency bonus + constitution modifier) temporary hit points instead.
At level 18, you gain (3d6 + proficiency bonus + constitution modifier) temporary hit points instead.

Stigmatize - Level 10

When dealing fire damage for the first time each round, the creature must make a DC (8 + your strength/dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus) constitution saving throw. On a failure, they are inflicted with "Flare Brand" for 1 minute and they take +1d6 fire damage. On a success, they take +1d4 fire damage.

At level 15, the Flare Brand DC increases to (9 + your strength/dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus).
At level 18, the Flare Brand DC increases to (10 + your strength/dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus), and you take 2d4 less damage from creatures that have Flare Brand.

Volatile Passion/Crying Children - Level 15

"Shield my eyes from apprehension."                                               "I Don't Want To See Anything..."
"Plug my ears from the beautiful voice."                                          "I Don't Want To Say Anything..."
"Shut my mouth from the lies that I do this out of altruism."                            "Or Hear Anything..."

Or giving into the voice of Sunshine, and become your Truest Self...
