Editing Blake Hartigan (section)

== Magic ==

=== Abilities ===
Hartigan is a dominion sorcerer and an Immortal Sorcerer. He is famed for his use of flame magic and his creation of Hartigan's Star, a dominion marked ring.


==== Dominion of Flame ====
Blake is an expert with flame sorcery. His reputation for incinerating dozens of enemies at once earned him the title "The Ember Lord." Blake's fire spells have been recorded at over 600 domini. According to Kester, as of War of Broken Mirrors 3, Blake can spend around 20 of his personal flame essence without permanent damage. However, Blake's average fire spells is about 400 essence which he gets from spending a single point of personal essence. Kester estimates that Blake has a 1:400 efficiency but when he uses Hartigan's Star his efficiency is 1:600. Wrynn believes that Hartigan has the power to be the Prime Lord of Flame, if all the political issues were to be ignored. Blake is known for burning down cities.

'''Flame Coil'''

Blake can form a serpentine coil of flame that hisses as if alive. 

'''Flaming Arrows'''

Blake can create arrows of flame.


==== Dominion of Lightning ====
Blake has demonstrated a lightning spell when training Lydia.

'''Lightning Strike'''

Blake can cast lightning bolts with very little focus. He uses the chant "Lightning, descend and strike." If he focused more the lightning stays true to the path but if he gives minimal attention it will follow metal.


==== Dominion of Stone ====
Blake has demonstrated the ability to manipulate the stone of his tower.

'''Wall'''

Blake can raise stone walls in his tower with the word "wall."


==== Dominion of Void ====
Blake can use void magic.

'''Voidlance'''

Blake can cast a void spell with the word "voidlance" which creates three javelins of void mana which launch at his targets. Void spells excel at cancelling out magic it touches.


==== Dominion of Motion ====
Blake demonstrated the ability to manipulate kinetic energy

'''Kinetic Burst'''

Blake waved a hand to send a "burst of kinetic energy" to blast items away.


==== Reincarnation ====

Blake Hartigan is immortal in a sense. He managed to perform a ritual which even Kelryssia, a goddess of sorcery failed. The ritual allowed him to take control of his cycle of reincarnation and ensures that when he dies he is reborn with all of his memories. He does not retain his dominion connections and needs to retrain in each life.


==== Enchanting ====
Hartigan is an expert at enchanting and writes books on dominion bonding. Hartigan is the person who basically invented the process of enchanting rings.


===== Dominion Bonding =====
Dominion bonding is the process of flooding an item with one essence type and then binding a spell to the item. A huge amount of his possessions are dominion bonded including his silverware. 


===== Dominion Marking =====
Dominion Marking is a far more complex type of enchanting. Blake's methods of creating dominion marked items involve the use of refined dominion essence. Hartigan uses dominion marks for several reasons: the essence from dominions is stored within the mark rather than the item itself and the ability to connect a dominion marked item to something else - like connecting a person to an item so they can access new types of essence or to use the item as a catalyst to connect to a dominion. Hartigan creates artificial gemstones and then transfers the essence from materials saturated with dominion essence into the gemstone. He then adds the gemstone to an item and applies dominion marks to the items.


==== Alchemy ====
Hartigan is well respected for his alchemy ability. Blake keeps extensive alchemical notes, recording all the work he does. Hartigan can make healing potions that are far better than what Mythralis usually has. Blake knows a great deal about alchemy from when attempting to obtain immortality the Tyrenian way. Blake also makes potions that mix antithetical dominion compounds.
