There are also the strange markings that appear on the Pyromancer's arms and face many mistake these as tattoos, but they did not come from a needle. The one first noticed by most people would be the Bright Wizard's hair, which takes on a fiery color of blond or red, and sometimes when the Wizard channels magic his hair will move like a flickering flame. Pyromancers (also known as Bright Wizards) of Aqshy mutate through a series of changes. Because of this, the users of the Lore of Fire make up many of the foremost battle mages within the Empire's armies. More than any other Lore, Fire is truly a weapon in the hand of its practitioner. Its spells range from concentrated fiery blasts, to swords conjured of pure flame, to massive, all-consuming infernos. The Lore of Fire is the most overtly offensive of the Eight Lores. The form of magic that draws its power from Aqshy is known as the Lore of Fire. Depending on which faction a wizard comes from or college he studied at he might be able to use one or more of these lores. These eight lores are considered the basic lores of magic in Warhammer. In a sense, these are a very predictable form of the mutation that comes whenever you meddle with the stuff of Chaos. Long term use of magic causes Humans to change in certain physical and mental ways. Humans are not suited for channeling magic as well as the Elves are, and due to this, no Human can use magic, even the relatively 'safe' magic of the Eight Lores, for any time and come out of it. The Chaos Dwarfs, dwarfs corrupted by Chaos, do employ sorcerers. There are no Dwarf wizards as dwarfs have a natural disdain for "uncontrolled magic", but the Runesmiths of the dwarfs harness magic into magic items through the use of runes. The ancient kingdom of Khemri practiced their own form of magic, that was corrupted by the Necromancer Nagash who instructed the Vampire Counts in the way of his black arts. The Dark Elves and Wood Elves, both descending from the High Elves, are also naturally adept at magic. The High Elves themselves were taught magic by the Old Ones. The High Elves taught the realm of men how to practice the eight lores of magic after the Great War of Chaos, when the High Elf mage Teclis helped Magnus the Pious of the Empire to found the colleges of Magic in Altdorf. The first magic users (besides the enigmatic Old Ones) were the Slann, and after them the High Elves. The High Elves, the second creation of the Old Ones after the Lizardmen, created a vortex on Ulthuan that together with magical stones present on both the island of Ulthuan and Albion contain the chaos and prevents it from completely overrunning the world. The mighty Slann fought (and still do) to contain the raw power of chaos. When the Gate the Old Ones used to travel to the Warhammer world collapsed, raw chaos flooded the warhammer world.
