Where to find

• This item is not present in the launch version of the game. Its effects have largely been replicated by the Pyroquickness Hat found in Act Three.
• In Early Access versions of the game the circlet could be found in a gilded chest in the final room of the Apothecary's Cellar beneath the Blighted Village X: -659 Y: -370. The cellar can be accessed through the building directly behind the village's Ancient Rune Circle.

Notes

Notes included from Fiery Return:

• The conditions for activating Fiery Return are to deal fire damage with a non-cantrip spell or a melee spell attack roll.
  • Attacks with a  Flame Blade conjured by the druid spell count as melee spell attacks, so they trigger Fiery Return. However, this is not true of a Flame Blade summoned by a mephistopheles tiefling's racial feature or a permanent Flame Blade acquired through the exploit described here.
  • The  Daredevil Gloves can turn ranged spell attacks into melee spell attacks, so cantrips like  Fire Bolt can trigger Fiery Return when paired with the gloves.

Bugs

Bugs included from Fiery Return:

• If Fiery Return is triggered with a  Bonus Action (for example, with  Metamagic: Quickened Spell), the extra bonus action granted by this passive is wasted and consumed immediately.
•  Hellcrawler, a class action granted by the  Helldusk Boots, triggers Fiery Return, essentially negating the bonus action cost.
•  Searing Smite does not trigger Fiery Return.
