'''Make Fire''' is an [[Knowledge Points|authority]]-status [[Sage Ability|sage ability]] in the [[Sage Study|study]] of [[Scouting (sage study)|Scouting]], not to be confused with any of a number of spells designed to create fire.

The ability allows the character to light a fire using a number of different potential methods, none of which require tools that cannot be found in the wild. Note that the ability cannot be used if the environment is wet or in climates where rainfall is daily (such as jungles or some coastal forests). So long as the materials to be used are dry, however, the character will be able to create a fire using tinder and friction or a spark created from found rocks, applied to dry fibers that can be made to light.

 Choosing the right kind of wood for making the hearth board and spindle is important, as is an awareness of wind conditions and the creation of wind breaks.  Characters able to make fire naturally choose locations that are away from overhanging branches, dry grass and other flammable materials, and the need to clear an area around the fire site by removing leaves, twigs, and other potential fuel.  If possible, an established fire ring or pit is used, or built if materials permit.
-Wilderness fires can reveal the location of the party to others — therefore the character knows to limit size of your fire to what is necessary, reducing the danger of it spreading or using up the available fuel.

 '''Make fire''' is an [[Knowledge Points|authority]]-status [[Sage Ability|sage ability]] in the [[Sage Study|study]] of [[Scouting (sage study)|Scouting]] that enables the character to generate fire from crude tools, using various techniques.  An essential tool for this is the "tinder box," which is a small, portable container that holds and keeps tinder dry; examples of tinder include dry leaves, shredded bark, cotton and other highly flammable materials.
 __TOC__
-Most other materials, even tinder if none is kept on the character's person, can be found abouts.  Nonetheless, the effort can be very difficult in wet environments, especially where it rains daily.  Under normal conditions, it's possible to ignite tinder in less than a minute, with a fire resulting in five to ten minutes.  However, in a very wet climate during rain, attempting to start a fire could take several hours to an entire day or more, and success is not guaranteed. The challenging conditions, combined with the need to find and keep dry materials, can substantially prolong the process.  Characters with this sage ability nonetheless possess the patience, persistence and the realistic understanding of the challenges involved.

+'''Flint and steel.'''  This method involves striking a piece of steel against a hard, sharp-edged rock, usually flint, to create sparks. These sparks are directed onto a tinder bundle, which can be a collection of dry, fine materials such as leaves, bark, or shredded cloth.
