vSetting: Varanasi, India. The bustling ghats along the Ganges are bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. Amidst the chanting of pilgrims and the clanging of temple bells, stands a young boy. Barefoot and dressed in faded saffron robes, he barely reaches 5.8 feet, yet his presence commands attention.
The Boy: His name is Agni, a moniker bestowed upon him not just for his fiery eyes and sun-kissed skin, but for the extraordinary gift he possesses - pyrokinesis. Each fingertip crackles with the promise of flame, a miniature sun waiting to be unleashed.
Physics of Flame: His control over fire is mesmerizing. He conjures playful wisps that dance around him like butterflies, then shapes them into intricate mandalas that hang in the air, defying gravity. The flames obey his every whim, morphing from gentle embers to searing jets with a flick of his wrist. He understands the physics of his power, the delicate balance of oxygen and heat, the way the flames twist and writhe in the air currents.
The Shard: He wields a curious weapon - a shard of obsidian, black as night and sharp as a razor. This is no ordinary blade. Forged in the heart of a volcano, it channels his pyrokinesis, amplifying the flames and imbuing them with an otherworldly luminescence. When he runs his fingers along the shard, the darkness cracks, revealing veins of molten gold that writhe like trapped fire serpents.
