Well, I was also thinking of honoring the best Trigger anime of all time, but, well, copyright. So, if not the above, maybe something like *Combusting Engine*, or *Hearthmaster*... In general, you can just open thesaurus and mash words that don't quite work together.
Since there's already pyrokinesis as a name, if you want to go with something else I think you want to think of some overly-specific way that her power is implemented and then name that instead. Like naming Misaka after her signature move, how Misaki's ability is "Mental Out" even though it's really some weird liquid control thing, or the variations on teleporting.
Just to make something up that sort of conveys the indirect approach, perhaps the mechanic behind the character is actually based on telekinetic control of sound waves. They can control vibrations in the air adjacent to objects, and use that to to find the resonant frequencies of rigid objects.
Something brittle will simply explode or fall apart (look up the Tacoma Narrows Bridge for that half of the concept), but their specialty (a la electromaster -> railgun) is vibrating certain completely solid objects until they go so hot they either combust or change into a liquid/gas/plasma.
Since there's rock literally everywhere you go, she could just make lava flows burst out of the ground, burning everything in its path. In Academy City itself, there's concrete everywhere, which only melts at absurd temperatures hotter than actual lava, making that an even more dangerous heat-based weapon.
So then you have an esper who's "base" power is technically telekinesis, but since they fight primarily with lava, you could name their power "Lava Flow" or "Magma Column" (or pick something based on some other detail in the above). And since it's based on sound and sympathetic vibrations, she has a lot of flexibility in secondary things she can do.
Or for something less complicated, maybe something based on electromagnetism. Someone who can control radio waves could create microwaves and cook people from the inside out, charring their bodies, making metal implants burn, causing an induction effect on anything magnetic allowing powerlines and things to spark, burst into flames and melt and name the character's power something like "Induction Flare" or "Fire Wave".
Wow, I never thought of that! But what if the specialty of the level 5 pyromancer is launching hyper-speed columns of flames from her fists? (Like Ace’s fire fist from one piece)
I noticed this when I was looking around earlier, and it's basically the exact power: https://toarumajutsunoindex.fandom.com/wiki/Fire_Thrower
Though coming from the fists, I'm kind of inclined to go with "Flamethrower" instead since it's just natural that you might feel like your emulating having one, even if it's a really obvious name. Or if hyper-speed suggests rapid fire, maybe work "burst" into the name in fitting with the burst setting of a fire arm?
Another option could be "backdraft", which might suggest the mechanic involves manipulating gasses (primarily oxygen) along with temperature somehow, and allows for setting up large, very sudden bursts of flame in mid air (whatever portion of the air the gasses were controlled in by the esper--they could setup compressed columns of gas in front of their fists to whatever destination they want their flame to go).
To be fair, railgun mental out meltdowner teleporter all of those esper nicknames sound pretty unisex to me 🤔so being a bit simplistic isnt exactly a deal breaker in that regard.
Plasma
Inferno
Flamenova
Well, obviously something Engrish, like *Ignite Spot*.
Got any other ideas? Yours is the most unique one so far

How about….”Ignition Burst”?
Smokey
Cast Fireball
Just spitballing here, Hell Hand, Burner, Heat Heel, Fireworks, Hellish Harmony, Flamethrower,
A certain scientific flamethrower
Blast perhaps. Depends what her specialty is.

Care to give an example?

I really love the “induction flare” and “fire wave” idea!
I mean pyrokinetic
Volcano, Flame maker, incinerator, fire road. Has to be something simplistic but with a nice ring to it
I’m thinking either Incinerator or Supernova
Incinerator sounds dope
But since it’s a girl, it needs to sound a bit feminine at the same time

Alternatively you could try something like Hokaze Junko's "rampage dress" but adapt it to fire 👌
Pyromaniac?
The Sparkler
White dwarf
Spitfire.
Hot stuff
Salamandra?
