Hylomorphic Sorcery is the corruption of cosmologic Form. Hylomorphic Sorcery will be a broader concept than just Blackfire and so will absorb the Blackfire Sorcery Spellbook. Warrior Mages will be able to permanently memorize Hylomorphic Sorcery spells.
High Sorcery Research
The following contains the research of Warrior Mages taking part in high sorcery research to discover Hylomorphic sorcery. There are SPOILERS within this text that extend beyond the high sorcery research; some dedicated warrior mages will already be familiar with what is being called "the new element".
(6/21/17) I will intentionally leave out any specific process for conducting the research as to not ruin the fun for folks still figuring it out.

Blackfire
Blackfire employs a type of all-consuming fire from which all color has been drained. It is a mixture of Elemental and Holy mana. Blackfire was discovered by the Blackfire Cabal, who found that removing all color from fire produced a characteristic black flame that consumed rather than burned. Blackfire is extremely powerful and destructive, and as a sorcery, its use is forbidden by the Warrior Mage guild and provincial authorities.
It is not currently planned for Warrior Mages to be able to permanently memorize Blackfire spells.
