Biology of a Firestarter

+0
−0

Biologically speaking, what would be the best real world explanation for a pyro, torch, fire-starter type mutation. Leeching heat energy from the environment might freeze dry your surroundings. Generating energy from internal reactor not only may cook your insides but could be more difficult to push externally.

Story would be in the context of science fiction so no high magic explanations, but the characteristics of the planet could work in conjunction with the mutation of the character. Ex: charged particles native to the planet that an individual is sensitive to or able to manipulate.
