pyrokinesis

Mind-controlled flames

Pyrokinesis is the supposed psychic ability to create or control fire with the mind.

The term belongs to parapsychology and science fiction, where characters might ignite objects by concentrating: She discovered her pyrokinesis when the curtains burst into flames during her tantrum.

No scientific evidence supports its existence.
