Born from the deaths of arsonists who died in the fires they started, pyrogeists are roiling infernos whose spectral fire emits no actual heat and harms only living creatures. Obsessed with sharing their torment with the living, pyrogeists haunt the area of their demise until whatever wrong they refuse to forgive has been righted, and they are finally put to rest.

Abilities
+1 Status to All Saves vs. Vitality —
Rejuvenation (occult) — When a pyrogeist is destroyed, it reforms where it was destroyed after 2d4 days, fully healed. The pyrogeist can be permanently destroyed only if someone determines the reason for its existence and sets right whatever prevents the spirit from resting.
Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
Breath Weapon (arcane, void) — A pyrogeist can spit a cone of spectral fire in a 30-foot cone, dealing 10d6 void damage (DC 29 Fortitude). A creature that fails the save also takes 1d6 persistent void damage and is subject to the effects of Faerie Fire until the persistent damage ends.
Pyrokinetic Whirlwind (concentrate, occult, polymorph, void) — The pyrogeist transforms into a 40-foot tall vortex of spectral flame that appears to immolate everything within a 10-foot burst. A creature within this area take 2d12+20 void damage (DC 29 Fortitude).
Soul Consumption (divine, evil) — The spirit of a creature that dies from damage dealt by the pyrogeist's Pyrokinetic Whirlwind is trapped within the pyrogeist as if subjected to the effects of the bind soul spell. This effect persists until the pyrogeist is destroyed or chooses to set the soul free. The spirit remains trapped whether or not the pyrogeist is using Pyrokinetic Whirlwind. A pyrogeist can contain only one soul at a time in this manner.
