Who is Flamina?
The fire witch lights sparks, raises walls of flame and burns whole rows of pawns.
Flamina Tinderfang has red hair that actually burns, but only when she gets upset. So, nearly always. She has already torched four broomsticks and now flies on a fireproof carpet instead. She does not blow out birthday candles, she lights more. She has been feuding with Marina Seaspray for years, for obvious reasons.
Before the first move, Flamina hides the Tinder trap on the board. If your opponent moves onto the square, the piece catches fire: a pawn burns up, any other piece is paralyzed for 2 moves.
Spells
Flamina's three spells
Every move earns 1 mana, every captured piece adds its value on top. Instead of moving, you cast a spell. After that it needs a few moves before it is ready again.
- Firecracker
Destroys an enemy pawn. Enemy pieces next to it are paralyzed for 1 move.
- Wall of flame
The four middle squares of a file (ranks 3 to 6) burn for 2 moves and are blocked for both sides. All four have to be free.
- Inferno
Master spell: All enemy pawns in the middle of the board (ranks 3 to 6) burn up. Your own pawns there are singed for 1 move and cannot move.
Tactics
How to win with Flamina
Sparks against the king's shield
Firecracker destroys an enemy pawn and stuns the pieces beside it for a move. Target the pawns in front of the king to open lines.
Cut the board with fire
Wall of flame blocks the four middle squares of an empty file for both sides. It holds enemy rooks on an open file at bay for 2 moves.
Inferno after the pawns advance
Wait until lots of enemy pawns stand on ranks 3 to 6, then burn them all at once. Your own pawns there are only scorched for 1 move.
Tinder in the pawns' path
A pawn stepping on the Tinder trap burns up, any other piece is stunned for 2 moves. Put it where an enemy pawn will soon want to step.
