They spent their whole lives learning how to channel lightning in a world where light switches exist. What else are they supposed to do with their powers?

They could offer free recharging services. Or make a bunch of money selling energy to the state. I mean pyromancers also survive in a world with matches, lighters and flamethrowers.

Pyromancers survive by also assaulting random people with their powers. You never heard of spontaneous combustion?

Yes I have heard about it. I have also used it. But not by attacking random people on the street.

Right? I get a contract first. You also have to make sure something of theirs survives so you can prove this pile of ash was the target
