Seems small but a Negative tick to fire heat.

It can vary as much as one likes.

Very nice food, I'll definitely go through that stockpile of Mullets I have a lot faster now. A bit worried about how fish is so much better than other early-game food, though.

This one is huge. Easy to make and very significant early on. Beast Rings are no longer the only viable option for ring slots until precious metals.

Thanks for the idea!
Thunders insta-killing hearthlings in a 6 meter radius and setting buildings on fire, tending to strike villages ¦]
Sounds like a good moment to bring back Call Down the Thunder, now as hearth magic!

On a more serious note, it could be a cool hearth magic to light fires, strike trees and/or insta-destroy something on your claim (e.g. a quicker way to dispose of the kiln you're about to replace, obviously only on claims where you have vandalism permissions), assuming it's cheap enough. (The 500 XP for Kindle is prohibitively expensive for a convenience function - that's one-third of a Mine Song, even more after you get the credo bonus for that!)

Add that in the rain bees cannot attack you because they die right away, so you can plunder Wild Beehive :D

In actual fact, it will be on a rolling random for now. It should rain, to a lesser and greater extent, about half of the time. That's certainly not final, and when we're a bit more out of the testing phase, it should probably rain less than that.
