Ironwych with Pyreportals

Ironwych: Pyromancers who fall to the Ironbound are selected for immediate transcension into forged bodies. The process is excruciatingly painful. A blacksmith has a kinship with flame and heat, it is their livelihood; pyromancers are mad with obsession, or have invited flame into their soul, this bond is exploited to rip the soul and consciousness from the body of flesh and shackle it to a mechanical body. The pyro-sorcerous potential is then channeled into rune etched bindings behind the iron masks. The ensuing Ironwych is an asset to the Ironbound, a living battery, whose connection to primal flame enhances the prowess of the forged around them. The process induces immediate madness. Ironwyches delight in grand pyroclastic displays, raining fire and ruin from above whilst hovering on gusts of superheated air. They have mastered the flame-portal craft of the Ironbound, channeling the great forge-ziggurats to teleport Forged troops in fiery blasts. A deadly tactical asset, an Ironwych can pluck an Iron Howler mid-charge and deposit them in the midst of an enemy formation with a tremendous explosion, gifting the beast more victims to rampage into.
