The Gift of FireStarting is a type of Mind Magic that gives the possessor the ability to start fires.
Most people gifted with FireStarting will be able to do no more than light a candle (Herald-Mage Vanyel, for example, was described to have "enough FireStarting" to never need a match in his life after his Gifts were blown open), though there are a few exceptions. Those exceptions tend to arrive just before they are greatly needed, so to have an exceptional FireStarting gift is generally considered a prelude to war.
FireStarting is said to be very similar to Fetching, as it could be that the vibrations created before the fire starts is a form of moving an item very fast, in a minuscule way.
