Dragons can make fire with their mind after all!

[~ Dr. Ocsid ~ 690]

In Equestria Games, it is shown that Dragons can't (deliberately) make things burn with their mind.

 

In Owl's well that ends well, Spike just does it:

 

However, in this case, he is angry, and doesn't do it intentionally.

This implies that strong emotions can cause things around them to spontaniously ignite..

One reason more not to infuriate 

 

Hm, maybe that also works with love...

I think I should write a RarSpike-shipfic with Spike accidentally burning down Carousel Boutique at the end...

One can chalk that up to cartoon logic, but where's the fun in that?

It's more likely that dragons can make fire with their claws.

In most mythologies dragons are the gods of fire and lightning. So you could say they have absolute control over both elements.

 

But this is a cartoon, so, it can allow itself to do whatever the characters want.

I don't think they can, it was just a joke. Like Twilight with her flaming mane in Feeling Pinkie Keen.
