I was, ah... something of a headstrong, impassioned boy as far back as I can remember. I imagine my childhood tantrums would have been nightmarish enough, without the tendency for starting fires accidentally. ......perhaps once or twice not entirely accidentally, before I knew better.

Thankfully, it was... relatively weak, for the first few years, and I had my grandfather to teach me some discipline before it, ah.. fully developed.
