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)
Consensus check: Toby's ability, 15/12/2009
Remember to put your signature on items that you oppose, not the ones that you find the best, along with a justification for your opposition. If your are "okay" with a name, leave it alone, do not oppose it because another name is better. If all suggested names receive a valid opposition, this page will remain as "Toby's ability". For more information, see the help page on consensus checks.--Referos 12:32, 15 December 2009 (EST)
- Just because the pain feels like a burn doesn't mean that Toby actually burns skin with heating--Referos 12:32, 15 December 2009 (EST)
Pain production
As far as causing pain in concerned, "excruciation" works better.Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 13:22, 15 December 2009 (EST)- "A" is better than "B" is not a valid reason for opposition. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 16:18, 15 December 2009 (EST)
- Doesn't describe the physical burning of the skin. --OutbackZack 14:09, 15 December 2009 (EST)
Pain induction
As far as causing pain in concerned, "excruciation" works better.Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 13:22, 15 December 2009 (EST)- "A" is better than "B" is not a valid reason for opposition. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 16:18, 15 December 2009 (EST)
- -- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 13:23, 15 December 2009 (EST)
- Doesn't describe the physical burning of the skin. --OutbackZack
Excruciation
- Does not describe any of the physical affects (Coopers burnt skin) of the power, just the pain.--Ratclaws 18:05, 16 December 2009 (EST)
- It can, however, be understood as a consequence of that, the burn being excruciating. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 18:09, 16 December 2009 (EST)
- I'm on the fence with this name. "Excruciation" kinda works, but I'm not sure it takes into consideration the burning or skin eruptions.--Referos 18:45, 16 December 2009 (EST)
- It can, however, be understood as a consequence of that, the burn being excruciating. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 18:09, 16 December 2009 (EST)
Burning
Implies physical fire-based burning similar to pyrokinesis and spontaneous combustion. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 15:49, 15 December 2009 (EST)- Burning is the key term used to describe the affects of the ability in the istory yet there was not mention of fire. So "Burning" is still a usable name. --OutbackZack 16:15, 15 December 2009 (EST)
- "Burning" doesn't cover how Toby could create skin eruptions (which are a form of inflammation rather than physical burn).--Referos 14:27, 16 December 2009 (EST)
Skin inflammation
- It may not be specifically skin, in which case simply "inflammation" would be better. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 15:49, 15 December 2009 (EST)
Other (please add)
- Inflammation
Notes/Comments
*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 page for details.--Referos 13:42, 15 December 2009 (EST)
- Ugh, I thought we got rid of opposition-based concensus? It's way too easy for everything to be defeated by trivial means. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 15:49, 15 December 2009 (EST)
- Strength of argument counts more than quantity, and we can counter argument as well. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 15:56, 15 December 2009 (EST)

- Just to make sure you guys know, I added Inflammation under the 'Other (please add)' list. --OutbackZack 17:40, 16 December 2009 (EST)
- Bump. I guess it's time to vote between Inflammation and Excruciation. Right?--OutbackZack 10:59, 18 December 2009 (EST)
