Uses
Lighting fires is useful to mystics, and especially Elementalist mystics. When the party has a reliable means to start a fire, especially as a swift action, that means they never need worry about running out of things to interfuse with on a bare battlefield.
This also is a key enabler of Spiritblade and Ember Arrows.
Destroying scenery can be useful to take away cover from opponents, to clear a path for movement, or to deny interfusion effects to enemy spellcasters.
