Pyromancy is one of three schools of magic that players can use inDark Souls 3.
Pure casters and hybrid builds can get some benefit out of pyromancy.
However, this issue is small considering the versatility and raw power that pyromancies bring to the table.
A table of contents section has also been added to conveniently jump to the section you’re interested in.

Your Attunement stat determines your attunement slots.
Pyromancy Catalysts
Casting a pyromancy will require a catalyst.
Pyromancers have this the worst out of every caster, as they only have four catalysts to choose from.
As rough as that sounds, thePyromancy Flamewill cover all of your burning desires.
you might obtain a Pyromancy Flame at the very beginning if you start as the Pyromancer class.
Pyromancer’s Parting Flamedeals slightly less damage than the normal variant.
However, casting any pyromancy will leave a trail of fire that can damage nearby enemies.
You might prefer this catalyst over the default variant if you play a pyromancer/melee hybrid character.
You’ll find this item during the Ashes of Ariandel DLC.
This means that pyromancy builds that focus more on Faith are paradoxically worse off using this talisman.
Only use this talisman if you’re using pyromancies solely for buffs.
you might find this catalyst in a lava pit inside the Smouldering Lake.

Finally, theDemon’s Scaris a curved sword that can cast pyromancies with its heavy attack.
Melee builds that want to turn up the heat will love this weapon.

If you’re new to spellcasting, this system might be somewhat confusing to you.
