Introduction
The Path of Metihi is a branch of osia, focusing on the manipulation of the fire spirits tied to the primordial element of Metihi. Practitioners of this discipline harness the transformative energy of fire and heat to shape both the physical and metaphysical aspects of the world. Fire in Adaris is more than a destructive force—it is a symbol of transformation, creation, and passion, and followers of the path channel these forces to bring about change in all its forms.

The Path of Metihi revolves around manipulating fire spirits, conscious particles of energy that govern heat, light, and transformation. These spirits exist in all forms of fire, from the smallest spark to the most destructive inferno. The Path of Metihi attunes its practitioners to the essence of fire, learning to command flames, control their intensity, and harness their raw, transformative power.
The fire spirits manipulated through the Path of Metihi are the embodiment of change, passion, and dynamic energy. The Path of Metihi not only focuses on the destructive aspects of fire but also its creative potential, using flames to forge, renew, and inspire.

- Summon fire for defense, offense, or protection in combat.
- Channel the transformative energy of fire to ignite passion, inspire action, or fuel creation.
- Regenerate or renew through purification by fire.

- Ancestral spirits: These ancient spirits of fire are the most powerful entities tied to the element of fire. They may represent the eternal flames of myth, volcanic spirits, or the cosmic fires that fuel the sun. Only the most skilled Path of Metihi would attempt to commune with these beings, as they are capable of massive transformations, destruction, or creation on a grand scale.
