(Pioneer) Faftal the Thaumaturge

Lore
The demon's pelts were tough as armor, and the soldiers were struggling to subdue the fiends. Faftal stepped forward and summoned a blazing firestorm. She was soon bombarded with questions from the startled warriors. "Did you even chant?" one of them asked. "I've never chanted before," she responded, somewhat perplexed. This only increased their amazement. She did not realize the significance of her unique magical abilities until years afterward, when a thaunmaturge unit was added to the army's ranks.
