Pyrokinesis
Pyrokinesis can be taken as a stunt for any vampire or other magically powerful being. Magically generated flames of 100°C cost 1 blood point. Note that flames under 400°C are not sustainable, and will immediately extinguish themselves. Expending half or more of your blood points in one turn will result in a will roll to stay conscious.
Pyrokinesis is the magical control of fire. The most basic form of it simply strengthens or weakens a flame. The most powerful form moulds a flame to one's desires. Fire is pure energy, making it easy to manipulate with mana. However, generating fire costs an equal amount of energy, which can be surprisingly costly. It isn't uncommon for a unsupervised novice to pass out due to the sudden exertion and start an uncontrolled house or forest fire.

Discovery
Pyrokinesis is one of the oldest forms of magic. Cave paintings from the Neolithic depict pyrokinetics.
Gestures & Ritual
Pyrokinesis takes place entirely in the mind, although it's not uncommon for pyrokinetics to use gestures to help reinforce their intent. Recently, the Northern Shaolin style of kung fu has become popular with pyrokinetics.

Applied Restriction
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Magically generated fire takes energy from the body as fuel. Creating large amounts or very hot fire can cause the magician to pass out from exhaustion and cause disaster.
