Pyromancy?

It was such a simple principle that both mentor and student were astonished they hadn’t come up with it before. One need not necessarily be a true pyromancer in order to make use of fire.

Through the controlled application of his powers, Edmund could simulate the effects of fire magic. Specifically, by super concentrating and shaping the oxygen in the air and igniting it with a spark.

It matters not what abilities you have, but how you apply them.

This piece from LittleBadWolf back in May of 2021 was actually the result of a slight error on my part. I was supposed to instruct them to replace the fire effects in the YCH with Lighting effects, but I never actually told them to do so.

Still, I was so fond of the piece that I still wanted to post it and make it work, thus I did some critical thinking and realized that if Edmund has powers over both the win (air/oxygen) and lightning (an ignition source) than basic physics dictates that he should be capable of generating a controlled fire.

It took some reasoning, but we got there. You’d be surprised how often that ability to improvise based on what I see in art comes in handy.
