   Common Name: Dephlogisticate Air
   Knowledge Requirement: have at least 110 points among 100% of aeroturgy skill, 100% of chaoturgy skill, and 50% of symbology skill
   Summary: increase atmospheric combustibility

This strange spell attempts to absorb used phlogiston -- a sort of reified combustibility -- from the air. The effect of this is to make the air more amenable to further combustion by leaving more room for unused phlogiston. The upshot of all this is that attacks of various sorts that are heat-intensive will be greatly augmented. The room air will slowly reach a phlogiston equilibrium and the effect will wear off; this process is hastened by heat attacks, which evolve phlogiston back into the air rather rapidly. An interesting side effect of this spell is that one will end up with a handful of phlogiston. Beings with phlogiston glands often find that consuming the stuff directly accelerates the glandular replenishment process.
