Flame Charges
Starting at 1st level, you can seal flame charges within objects. The amount of maximum concurrently active charges is specified in the class feature table.
With an action you can seal a flame charge within an object or creature that you are physically touching. The process of sealing a flame is discreet and does not make any noise, if the target is a creature, it will be unaware that a flame charge has been sealed inside it.
As a free action you can detonate any sealed flame charges.
Upon losing consciousness for any reason, all sealed charges dissipate.
A flame charge detonates in an area dealing the fire damage specified in the class feature table. If a creature is not touching the sealed object but is within the specified area, they may roll a dexterity saving throw (10 + proficiency + charisma modifier) to take half damage.at level 10 the cd increases to 12+proficiency+charisma.you can choose the size of the explosion area up to the maximum shown in the class table.
Seal Attack
Starting at 3rd level, you can choose to seal a flame charge in an opponent following a successful attack. You must make this decision prior to making the attack.at level 5 you can seal 2 flames per attack. At level 10 you can seal 3. At level 15 you can seal 4 flames per attack. at level 20 you can seal 5 flames per attack
explosion protection
at level 4 you can protect your teammates from damage from your own explosions. You can make a number of creatures immune to the damage and effects of your explosions equal to your Charisma modifier. immunity lasts 10 minutes or until you choose to end it sooner (no action required) you must be able to touch the creature to give it immunity
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, the raw power and potential of your character grow.

Extra attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
