'''Custom Fire Spirit''' is a service that alters the fireworks messaging when using the untargeted version of the [[Fire Spirit (111)]] spell. It is available via rare [[merchant]]s, [[raffle]]s, and special events. This customization does NOT impact the bolt version of the spell when used in combat; [[custom bolt messaging]] is a separate service.


'''Note:''' Custom fireworks only impact the firework created when casting either Fire Spirit or Major Fire ''without a target''. Changing the attack messaging when casting either spell at a target is a separate service for [[custom bolt messaging]].
There are several premade options available, and depending on the release method, the player may be allowed to submit their own customization. If the player does submit their own idea, it may be considered a [[delayed service]]. Premade options are found in token-like objects that can be{{boldmono| [[REDEEM]]ed }}to apply the messaging to the character.


When writing a custom firework, the description has to make sense for anyone viewing the firework, whether or not they are in the same room as the person casting it. In addition, portions of the spell cannot be changed. Only the italicized phrase can be customized as part of this service:

Custom fireworks are a type of advanced spell customization which changes the appearance of the firework created when casting either Fire Spirit (111) or Major Fire (908) without a target. Pre-written custom fireworks are available at various festivals, pay events, and at Bayview Villa on Mist Harbor. Fully custom fireworks are a delayed service when the player is writing their own. Custom fireworks are part of the Player Customization System and are managed via the CUSTOM verb.

Note: Custom fireworks only impact the firework created when casting either Fire Spirit or Major Fire without a target. Changing the attack messaging when casting either spell at a target is a separate service for custom bolt messaging.

When writing a custom firework, the description has to make sense for anyone viewing the firework, whether or not they are in the same room as the person casting it. In addition, portions of the spell cannot be changed. Only the italicized phrase can be customized as part of this service:

A flare leaves your hand and shoots up into the sky where it hangs for a few moments before exploding into a firework.  The sheer brightness of the image before you lingers in your sight for several seconds after the explosion can no longer be seen.

Examples of custom fireworks include the following from options available at Bayview Villa:

a magnificent golden griffin with shimmering copper-tipped wings

a deluge of sparkling silvery-white stars

a tapered trail of lacelike green leaves

a shimmering sea green kraken with whirling violet tentacles

a crimson radiance that glimmers across the heavens

blinding white lightning that briefly fractures the skies

Additional examples of pre-written custom fireworks can be viewed in the character customizations category, such as with the Rumor Woods 2024 custom fireworks.
