For sure.

Although even after seeing that, I'd be surprised if he could raise the temperature of the air or room like that.

What if the power was redefined as the psychic ability to destroy one thing you are looking at?

In the comic, IIRC, he does some pretty amazing stuff; teleportation, loads of psychokinesis, and I think, maybe, some pyrokinesis.

I could be remembering wrong though.  Time for a re-read.

Like an entropy power?  That'd be pretty metal.

Could also roll with the objects-in-use vs unattended objects thing easily if you have a different system for affecting living things (which are terribly complex etc) and anything in close contact with their morphogenetic* field (which has a tendency to envelop and exert itself upon equipment in close proximity to a person - yes, even (and especially) powered armor, since it's human-shaped anyhow).

(* = Sheldrake aside, I mean this as psy-fi technobabble to explain the mechanic)

It would kind of be like an entropic power from other games, but I really want this to be listed with the pyrokinetic powers, partly because I really like it and partly because I used to love Fire Starter.

Anyway, I'm thinking of expanding the fluff to really drive home the idea that psychic powers entirely have to do with the idea that reality is born from conscious perception, and that the psychics will over that perception changes the reality. I really want to divorce psychic phenomenon completely from the idea that they are somehow interacting with physical phenomenon in a scientific way. The pyro isn't exciting molecules or projecting energy - he is transmuting the object of his will into a thing on fire through shear perception.

I have to wonder if there are people, even on theRPGsite, who won't admit that they secretly play and enjoy RIFTS.

I might like Rifts more than you sense I actually had a lot of fun with Rifts Africa (;

Crazy.  Well, there's something for everyone, I suppose, and vice-versa.
