What Changes at Level 10

When a Mage reaches level 10 and you select Pyromancer, two things change permanently:

Stat bonuses are added to the hero's ability scores immediately and permanently.
Active ability is replaced with the subclass variant (Inferno).

Ability: Inferno

Inferno: Sets all living enemies ablaze. Each cast applies a fresh, independent burn stack. AP increases burn damage per tick.

Permanent Stat Bonuses

Pyromancer grants the following ability score bonuses on top of the Mage base scores:

+2 Intelligence — adds to the Mage base intelligence score
+1 Agility — adds to the Mage base agility score

These bonuses stack with ability score points allocated from levelling. They cannot be removed without retiring the hero.

Pyromancer vs. Arcanist

Both subclasses unlock at level 10. Compare them to choose:

	Pyromancer	Arcanist
Identity	Burn DoT spreads to adjacent enemies and explodes on kill.	Short cooldown nuke rotation — rapid ability cycling with reduced CDs.
Stat Bonus	+2 Intelligence, +1 Agility	+2 Intelligence, +1 Spirit
Details	This page	Arcanist page →

The choice is permanent — use a Scroll of Divergence consumable to re-select without retiring the hero.

Applying via Archetype

Set an Archetype with Pyromancer as the guild standard for Mage — all future recruits of that class will automatically receive this subclass at level 10 without any manual selection.
