Large areas of the Ashfire Continent are like this, with extremely high surface temperatures, only suitable for life forms like the molten spirits to survive.
Even for someone like Duke, a Level 2 Mage, they rely on a strong constitution and the magic power within to resist the constant assault of high temperatures.
However, it doesn't actually affect Duke much, as he himself is a Level 2 fire attribute Elemental Mage, and this environment feels quite natural to him.
Mages proficient in fire attribute magic all gain certain benefits here, as the concentration of fire attribute free energy particles is extremely high, surpassing all the places Duke has been before.
Even a simple secondary Fireball Technique can display twice the normal strength here.
