Heating (Mrs. Comey, Toby): The ability to produce heat from the body. -- Mike the Man-child!

  • Not really, nothing indicates that he causes pain with heat, a burning pain is an intense pain, just that. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 11:13, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
    • Pain production?
      • Pain Induction sounds best to me
        • Excruciation? It means the same things... But maybe you just want the actual word. Nevermind.

  • I must say, excruciation has a nice ring to it, and it is (so far as we know) entirely accurate. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 17:44, 10 December 2009 (EST)
    • Yeah, I agree. I would approve of this name as well. --OutbackZack 17:06, 11 December 2009 (EST)
      • I don't oppose this name, but I am concerned about it not including the "burning" aspect of the ability. The examples section says that it also causes skin eruptions. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 17:34, 11 December 2009 (EST)
Then why not just call the ability Burning? I know it sounds too simple, but it's right to point and describes everything. If there's a "fancy" word for it then that's cool too. --OutbackZack 21:56, 11 December 2009 (EST)
