pyromancy is the practice of divining through the use of a source of fire, and is very much real. As for pyrokinesis, which is completely different, it is more fantasy based than anything else.
And working with the elements is more of a spiritual thing, as the elements have spiritual aspects, Like fire being both destructive and able to cleanse. Working with elements is done to learn more about the self, as well as to connect with nature, and on a broader scope, the Universe itself. At least that is how it has been in my experience.

I hear much of pyrokinesis, and pyromancy,yet it seems to me that nobody on this site knows what fire actually is.
Fire is a "low explosive",the combustion of turning a solid into
a gas. Fire does it slowly, high explosive does it instantly.
If you think of a match,the head of the match is a high explosive,as the match is struck it instantly turns into a gas; this gas then starts to burn the match stick; that is a low explosive.
There is nothing really mysterious about fire, a low explosive; although it is just as dangerous as high explosive.Just slower in effect.
I was in The Royal Engineers, and my trade was Mines and Demolitions. I know all about low and high explosives.

You are welcome,Brann. Knowledge, without understanding, is not much use to anybody.We humans are rather "puny" animals; we cannot even hunt without weapons!
And many people refuse to see the truth. That every single solid object on this Earth was once a gas! The planet itself is made from gas, and that includes us! When we use fire, we are turning solid objects back into the original condition.
*sigh* so many suggestions that i don't know which one is really the right or false, but if others called it 'fluff' thats there choice, i choose to learn fire magick. there is always a way, i just need to look harder and more clear.

Just because something is on YouTube doesn't indicate that it is real. It is so very easy to make any claim you want and then PhotoShop images that purport to support that claim, when in fact the whole thing is faked. To date, with the exception of the movement of things smaller than atoms, there is absolutely no proof that telekinesis or any other form of kineses works.
