Pyrelord

The Pyrelord is a Summoning familiar, introduced with the "Summoning 2" update on March 31, 2008. It requires level 46 Summoning and a Pyrelord pouch.

Abilities
You can use it to burn any kind of log, like a tinderbox. When any type of logs are used on it, it will give 10 Firemaking experience more than usual for each log. For example, using a tinderbox with a willow log, one would normally gain 90 experience, but if the willow logs are used with the Pyrelord, one would gain 100 experience instead.

Wearing a Ring of fire and/or Flame gloves (rewards from the All Fired Up minigame) gives an additional 2% (for just one) or 5% (for both) experience. The experience modifier from the familiar is calculated before the bonus from the gloves and ring. Hence, using the example of willow logs, one would receive an extra 2 experience (for a total of 102 experience) wearing one modifier, or 5 (for a total of 105 experience) for wearing both modifiers.

Many people refrain from using a pyrelord for firemaking, claiming that it is slower than using a tinderbox normally. Others say that the extra experience gained (especially if combined with the ring of fire and flame gloves), and the ability to burn one extra log per inventory outweigh the slightly slower burn speed. In either case, using a pyrelord means the mouse has to be moved a significantly higher distance, especially on fullscreen, which can result in wrist strain.

In combat, Pyrelords contribute to the player's Strength skill.

Pouch
Pyrelord pouch is made by using a Summoning pouch on a Summoning obelisk with 111 spirit shards, a Crimson charm and a tinderbox in the inventory. Making the pouch earns 202.4 experience points. Using the pouch to summon a Pyrelord gains 2.3 experience points, and costs 5 Summoning points.

Scroll
Immense Heat scroll enables the use of the Immense Heat special move for a Pyrelord. Using the pouch on a Summoning obelisk creates 10 scrolls, giving 2.3 experience. Using the scroll costs 6 special move points and grants 2.3 experience.

Special move: Immense Heat
Immense Heat is a special move for Pyrelords. Players can smelt a gold bar (and a gem if one wishes) into an item of jewellery without using a furnace, provding they have the required crafting level.

Interaction
One of the following dialogues are given if the player has level 56 summoning or higher:

Pyrelord: What are we doing here?

Player: Whatever I feel like doing

Pyrelord: I was summoned by a greater demon once you know

Pyrelord: He said we'd see the world...

Player: What happened?

Pyrelord: He was slain; it was hilarious!

OR

Pyrelord: I used to be feared across five planes

Player: Oh dear, now you're going to be sad all day

Pyrelord: At least I won't be the only one

OR

Pyrelord: I can teach you to smite your enemies with flames

Player: You're not the only one: we have runes to do that

Pyrelord: Runes? Oh, thats so cute!

Player: Cute?

Pyrelord: Well, not cute so much as tragic. I could teach you to do it without runes

Player: Really?

Pyrelord: No

If one does not have level 56 summoning, only this is garnered:

Pyrelord: Sizzle crackle spit hiss sizzle!
