Molecular Combustion

Molecular Combustion is the ability to increase the speed of molecular motion to the point that objects or beings explode. The power is generally channeled through hand gestures and is one of the strongest offensive powers known to the magical community.

Description
With a simple gesture, the user is able to blow up both living and artificial beings. However, some beings are naturally unaffected by the power or are capable of reconstructing themselves after being destroyed.

Users are also able to blow up inanimate objects, such as doors, stones, or cars, though this may sometimes cause a lasting fire as a by-product. Skilled users are able to exploit this and use this ability to start fires. It appears that blowing up an inanimate object or another power may, on occasion, create ripples in the air that can repel things away. This is a side-effect of the explosion, not something that can be consciously controlled.
