Spellcasting
You draw your power from the fireplanes.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the pyromancer spell list. You learn additional Pyromancer cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Pyromancer table.
Spellslots
The Pyromancer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells. The Slot level column shows you on which level your spell slots are. To cast one of these Pyromancer spells, you must expend a slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell burning hands, have a Slot level of 2 and have a spell slot available, you can cast the spell at 2nd level.
Spells known of 1st level and higher
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the pyromancer spell list. The Spells Known column of the Pyromancer table shows when you learn more pyromancer spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the pyromancer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the pyromancer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your pyromancer spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world.

Spell save DC =8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
