Pyrokinesis
Pyrokinesis, derived from the Greek words πυρ and κίνησις, was the name coined by horror novelist Stephen King for protagonist Charlie McGee's ability to create or to control fire strictly by thought in King's 1980 novel, Firestarter. The word is intended to be parallel to telekinesis, though arguably the prefix "tele-" rather than the suffix "-kinesis" would be the part to preserve in a proper Greek-based hybrid word. Critic S.T. Joshi describes the word as a "singularly unfortunate coinage." Pyromancy is often incorrectly considered to be a synonym to pyrokinesis.
