My sister commissioned me to draw this special moment in her game! Cant believe they finally had a graduation 😂

"If the Mind is like a candle, the Heart is like the sun."

[Fire is passion, the bright, burning flame of raw emotion sweeping over everything. Those who follow the School of Fire, known as Pyromancers, are tempestuous, quick to anger, and consumed by whatever drives them at that moment.

[They tend to walk a fine line, having great passion and enthusiasm for one’s loves in life is good, but watch out! Passion can burn you up and consume you, leaving nothing but a charred husk of your former self.

[Pyromancers use Incantations to dominate and convince Fire creatures to do their bidding. Fire Magic traces its origins back to the fierce Fire Dragons, the race of Titans that ruled the land in the Days Before.]

MA’AM

First entry of the Wizard101 gallery in my profile: School of Fire. Personally, I think fire wizards are only good when it comes to killing the enemy over time. No hate on them though since they do have some pretty cool spells to cast...

The Rise of Evangelical Cults

Unfortunately I find it to be the case that many evangelical movements & schools of thought use manipulation, emotional reasoning, shame, fear, guilt, fake miracles and require unflinching allegiance which lines up pretty nicely with the textbook definition of a cult. 

The word cult comes from the Latin word cultus, meaning to worship. Truly, some cults leads one to bow down to more than just status – smothered in sex, money and abuse scandals, many churches, movements, revivals and bible colleges get away with their spiritual malpractice by targeting the vulnerable for those sweet, tax free donations and by justifying their garbage sermons as the direct revelations from God. 

I suspect even the most skeptical of non-believers consider the reality of a devil when they behold the ministries who so blatantly lie and deceive hundreds, thousands and sometimes millions of individuals. The most devastating fact being that, once you are indoctrinated by an evangelical cult, you justify their behavior even while they stamp you beneath their feet.

There's a real problem with your church / preacher if it sounds like a broken record, always repeating the same slogans and messages (like going on and on about tithing, why evolution is evil, gay people and being a “real Christian”) - don't let a superficial, hyper-emotional and irrational church, bible college or movement use scare tactics, guilt trips or emotional manipulations to get you to believe their illogical rhetoric. 

If someone can't build a case by reason, clarity and scripture but resort to shouting, fear of hell and taking bible verses out of context then it's pretty safe to say that they are ignorant, arrogant and not worth you time or money.

Now, let me clarify one thing first: there are wonderful churches, movements, charities, revivals and bible colleges – of course there are. 

Let me clarify a second thing: I'm not demanding perfection from any religious institution, that's impossible – all organizations have their faults. 

So let me be clear on what I am saying: there are many Christian organizations that are manipulative and deceptive, recruiting their members using guilt and keeping in their church by using shame. These are the horrible Christian organizations that rely on ignorance and emotional instability to hunt down their prey and feast on their dying soul.

-

Some preachers that have been accused of this are Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Andrus Strauss and Rooies Strauss. Bible Schools, usually with no accreditation, like School of Fire locations in South Africa, lure in young men and women to do their biding - according to many anonymous sources.

IT'S TIME FOR THE POWER OF VETO COMPETITION!

ANG, CORNBREAD, DAWIT, JINX, JORDAN, AND SEAN WILL BE COMPETING IN THIS COMPETITION!

This competition is called TRIAL BY FIRE. Before you can move on from School of Fire you must prove to Professor Luc you have the drive to face everything else the season has to offer - and what better way to show the fire within you than using it against your fellow enchanters?

HERE IS HOW IT WILL WORK:

There will be up to 4 rounds of trial, each trial including 5 moves from each enchanter. You have 4 spells to cast for moves, being:

METEOR STRIKE: killing an enchanter that you specify along with your move as long as they don't do a defensive move (This spell can be used twice per round).

AFK: making literally nothing happen, you are prone to being attacked and there are no benefits to this move (This spell MUST be used at least once per round),

QUENCH: making yourself safe from any potential attacks from another player that move (This spell can only be used twice per round).

CHOKE: arguably the best move. It directs any attacks on you back to the attacker, killing them instead of you (This spell can be used once per round).

In your submissions, you will make 4 lists, one for each round. In each list there will be 5 moves, all must fit the move limits. You need to submit all 4 lists! At the end of the challenge, we will tally the results. Whenever there is one person left standing, the competition ends and they win. In the case of a tie, there will be a tiebreaker question.

Here is an example round of how it works:

In move one, Juls, Lilo and Luc would all be safe. However, Kat attacked Eden, which would've killed them, but Eden used Choke, killing Kat instead.

Moving onto move two, Lilo and Luc are safe again. Juls tries to attack Kat, as he doesn't have the knowledge that Kat is already dead. Eden attacks Juls, killing them.

In move three, no one attacks, making everyone all safe by default.

During move four, Eden tries to kill Lilo, but they use Quench, making everyone safe.

In the final move, Eden uses Quench, becoming safe, meanwhile Luc and Lilo attack each other, killing them both, meaning Eden would win.

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DISCUSS YOUR MOVES WITH OTHER ENCHANTERS.

THIS COMPETITION IS DUE TOMORROW BY 8PM EST.
