Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
So, one way to look at it is pyrokinesis is simply using psychokinesis to speed up the molecules/atoms of a target to the point they begin generating heat.

Re: Comparative Cartography.
Keklas > Always great to find another long-term Traveller fan.
