Mahyar: The question of whether wearable technology could one day enable a person to ignite fire from their hands, as depicted in fiction, is not entirely absurd from a purely engineering perspective. However, it demands a sober evaluation of feasibility, safety, and consequence.
In principle, a sufficiently miniaturized ignition and fuel-delivery system could be integrated into a wearable device. One might imagine a compact mechanism, perhaps resembling a wristwatch, capable of producing a directed flame. Yet such a design would confront immediate constraints: fuel storage limitations, thermal insulation requirements, control precision, and the ever-present risk of catastrophic malfunction.
The difficulty is not solely technological. It is ethical and practical. A device intended to project flame from the human body would, by definition, carry significant risk to the user and to others. Any failure in containment or regulation would result not in spectacle, but in injury.
Radiocaster: All it takes to make a gunslinger's fireball spell is a zippo lighter, an aerosol can, and a reckless disregard for the safety of yourself and others.
Mahyar: I recommend researching the Flammenwerfer 35. Developed by the German army during the Second World War, this flamethrower projected fire up to twenty-five meters through its elongated tube.
Radiocaster: If you prefer ballistic wands, the MG42, also developed by the German army during the Second World War, is perfectly capable of heating up your house due to its high cyclic rate of fire. Make sure to change out the barrel after around 150 rounds of rapid fire, otherwise the barrel will melt and become unusable. And never handle hot barrels without wearing your heat-resistant asbestos mitts. The high rate of fire will also quickly exhaust your ammo supply, so make sure that all wizards operating near the MG42 are carrying additional ammo.

It's what we need to get just to mimic a fraction of her power
