@Professor_Stevens There are so many examples of this. Sometimes I wonder if we just haven't found the right invocation to make it happen.

@geonz

You mean something we could say to them ourselves that, if the necessary forces were to cooperate, would have them instantly conflagrant?

What an awesome power that would be. The ethics of using it would be similarly daunting. However, one could rationalize that it is the listener's choice that meets the final conditions for ignition.

Yes, one could certainly rationalize that. Would probably be nearly effortless, actually...

@Professor_Stevens Especially if it just made their sleeves singe a bit the first time, or "just" snatched the book from their hands and hovered out of reacy.

@geonz

Gosh, that would obviate the moral aspect. I'd have little reluctance to scorch a few religionist forearms. Heck, I'd go so far as to say I might look forward to it...
