Pyrokinetic

A Pyrokinetic is an elf with the ability to control fire. Due to its dangerous nature and incidental deaths, it has become a banned ability. Many elves became distrustful of Pyrokinetics after the deaths of many due to Fintan and Brant. Consequently, any elves with the ability are closely monitored, however, this status may be changing.

History[]

The earlier Council chose to outlaw Pyrokinesis after the deaths of five Pyrokinetics over thousands of years ago, which involved Everblaze and Fintan. To prevent elves from inheriting this ability, the Council has ranked the marriages of all direct relatives as a Bad Match. It has also become forbidden to test for Pyrokinesis during Ability Detecting. Fintan originally agreed to forbid Pyrokinesis, however, now regrets it.

Known Pyrokinetics []

Fintan Pyren[]

Fintan is credited for creating Balefire and Everblaze. During the attempt to create Everblaze along with five other Pyrokinetic elves, Fintan was the only one who had successfully sparked Everblaze and survived. Due to the death of the other five elves, the ability was forbidden and Fintan resigned as a Councillor. During Exile, Fintan's mind was broken by Sophie and Alden in an attempt to retrieve information about the growing fires in the Forbidden Cities. They discover Fintan has illegally trained another Pyrokinetic, Brant. In Everblaze, Sophie heals Fintan's shattered mind but results in Kenric's death via Everblaze while Fintan escaped. He was captured in Nightfall. During Flashback, he offers to train Marella to keep from going down the path he did.

Brant[]

Deceased

Brant was unregistered and illegally trained by Fintan. He was capable of igniting Everblaze and responsible for his fiancé, Jolie's death. He was a member of the Neverseen responsible for setting fires in the Forbidden Cities. During a confrontation in Everblaze, Grady forced Brant to burn off his hand due to his anger about his daughter, Jolie's death. Brant was killed by Mr. Forkle at the end of Lodestar as he was pushed under a falling rock while Lumenaria was collapsing.

Marella Redek[]

In Nightfall, Marella manifests as a Pyrokinetic after Mr. Forkle uses mental energy to possibly trigger an unknown ability in Marella. It is revealed that her Pyrokinesis is particularly strong based on her mental energy. Marella keeps her ability as a secret as Pyrokinetics are banned. Edaline states how Marella should learn to control it as Brant was "messed up" by his inability to control his Pyrokinesis.

Two exiled Pyrokinetics mentioned in Neverseen[]

Nothing is known about them other than the fact that they are currently in Exile.

Five Unknown Pyrokinetics seen in Fintan's mind[]

Deceased

These five Pyrokinetics were consumed by the Everblaze Fintan sparked. One of these were a close friend of Luzia, who became one of the most outspoken advocates for the Pyrokinesis ban after their death.

Twelve Registered Pyrokinetics[]

It is mentioned in Keeper of the Lost Cities that there are only about twelve registered Pyrokinetics currently (this is not accounting for Marella Redek or Brant).

Trivia[]

Pyrokinetics cannot be burnt with any fire, except for Everblaze.
Pyrokinetics have a substantially hotter body temperature than normal elves, allowing them to withstand colder temperatures for longer amounts of time.
Pyrokinetics can become unstable if held back from fire for too long. Brant and Fintan were described as unstable, and often dangerous.
