*I've removed the oppositions on pain induction and pain production since a name being better is not a valid reason to oppose a name. See the [[Help:Consensus checks|help page]] for details.--[[User:Referos|Referos]] 13:42, 15 December 2009 (EST) |

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.
- Pain Induction sounds best to me
- Pain production?

- 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)
- Yeah, I agree. I would approve of this name as well. --OutbackZack 17:06, 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)

- Skin inflammation? AltesUTC CH 06:35, 12 December 2009 (EST)
- I don't follow the iStory, so does the pain caused by Toby's ability immediately vanish once he stops using his power or does it cause some lasting damage?--Referos 10:04, 12 December 2009 (EST)
- Rachel just got too close to Toby, who may not have spotted her at all, so I don't know. AltesUTC CH 10:11, 12 December 2009 (EST)
- That would just be something we would note in the limits section. I actually do like Skim inflammation, because it does cover every aspect of the ability. --OutbackZack 15:45, 12 December 2009 (EST)

- Bump. It seems like we have 3 possible names. I'm mostly for Skin inflammation. Anyone agree or disagree?--OutbackZack 09:04, 15 December 2009 (EST)
