Pyromancies are one of the three available Spell types in Dark Souls III, the others being Sorceries and Miracles.
Casting a Pyromancy requires a Pyromancy Flame, as well as sufficient Intelligence and Faith.
Most Pyromancies can be learned from the spell trainers Cornyx of the Great Swamp and Karla.
