Contracts of the Dragon's Fire
UNIVERSAL AFFINITY
Fire, the most destructive and beautiful of the primeval forces. It can bring about cataclysmic damage if left unchecked, but through destruction allows life to begin anew. Dragons were said to hold this power, despite supposedly being nothing but myth. One Changeling believed their to be truth in this myth, and channeled the destructive nature of fire through their very being.

Exceptional Success: In addition to the armor gained they also gain defense equal to the heat level of the fire.
The Dragon's Breath (•••)
The greatest myth associated with dragons is their ability to breathe fire. With the Clause the Changeling may do similar enough, although they won't be burning down any villages. Their work is only a pale imitation to the legends.
Cost: 2 Glamour + 1 Wyrd
Dice Pool: Wyrd + Dexterity - Defense
Action: Instant
Catch: The Changeling keeps a still hot coal in their mouth.
Dramatic Failure: The fire doesn't leave the Changeling's mouth, and instead they accidentally consume it. They receive as much Aggravated damage equal to their Stamina.
Failure: The Changeling simply blows smoke out of their mouth.
Success: She exhales a long plume of fire at their directed target. This fire does 1 lethal damage and applies the Burning Tilt. The heat level of the fire is equal to her Stamina.
Exceptional Success: The Burning Tilt applied by The Dragon's Breath may not be put out by mundane means. The Tilt ends when the Changeling wishes it to or the target is consumed in fire.

Action: Instant
Catch: Putting out a fire in your mouth.
Dramatic Failure: Words
Failure: Words
Success: For this Clause to work she must stand wholly within fire, and must not possess any active defenses that would mitigate the typical damage and destruction of fire. The fire heals as much damage as the user's successes with the most grievous wounds being healed first (aggravated, then lethal, and bashing last). Any clothes the target wears are burned away in the fire, regardless of their makeup, along with the loss of any scars or tattoos.
Exceptional Success: Also heals lost limbs, extreme diseases.
The Dragon's Fury (•••••)

Dice Pool: Wyrd + Stamina
Action: Reflexive
Catch: Killed by fire.
Dramatic Failure: The Changeling still explodes, but she is not reborn.
Failure: Nothing happens.
Success: She dies in an explosion of fire that has a blast radius equal to her Wyrd, has a heat level at a rating equal to her Stamina, and does damage equal to her maximum glamour + successes. She is then reborn in a number of minutes from the ashes equal to 10 minus her Wyrd.
Exceptional Success: Additional successes are their own reward.
