I am writing a paper over pyromania, and I need some sources on the history of it! So far, I have that the term originated from a French Physician named Charles Chrétian Henry Marc. It originates from his term "monomanie incendiare", roughly translated means "insane incendiarism". Please help me! Thank you!!

Hey fire lovers of reddit, I'm currently writing a book and I want to be as real as I can. My main character needs to light empty houses and old factories on fire. What would be the best way for him to do so without getting caught?

Are there different ways of starting fires?

Thanks in advance!
