Combustion, also known in High Galactic as Flamusfracta, was an advanced, telekinetic Force ability that allowed users to cause objects to explode by sheer force of will.[1]
It was rarely used on a person, and the effects it had on inanimate objects and people were devastating. Depending on the size, density and vulnerability of the object in question, combustion would become harder or easier to use successfully. The intensity of the blast could injure an entire room of enemies, particularly if the affected object was made of flammable material.[1] Yarael Poof was known to use this power.[2]
Darth Sidious considered this ability a "mere child's play" in The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force.[1] After his resurrection on Byss, Palpatine used this power to cause a 10,000 year old lightsaber to explode in Leia's hands.
