* [[Merry Gentry]]'s Doyle does this in ''Kiss of Shadows'', with his unearthly eat-you-alive-can't-be-put-out-by-water-green-flames-of-DEATH. He also has them float over his shoulders.
* This trope is used by both Valentin Ivashchenko and Iar Elterrus in their respective fantasy settings - almost every mage will light a cigar, a pipe or a bonfire in this manner. As the [[Magic aA Is Magic A]] rule prohibits some mages from casting fire spells, e.g. sea-wizards (limited to water and weather magic) and necromancers, any mage pulling this off is about to mess with specialization.

* ''[[Skulduggery Pleasant (Literature)|Skulduggery Pleasant]]'': It's how [[Elemental Magic|Elementals]] cast fireballs; they take the friction from the finger snap, add magic, then fireball.
