When I picture a pyromancer "setting X on fire", I don't think of them just igniting their clothes or something, but fully engulfing them in flame. Which is significantly harder to stop drop 'n roll out of because you're engulfed in flame.

Also, expecting a child to not panic when set on fire but rather go through a specific sequence of actions which he's never been taught to put it out is kind of...unrealistic?
