Basic Pyrokinesis seems pretty boring at a glance. It's a three-cantrip bundle: spark (allowing you to light things on fire gently), flare (save vs. the game's weakest debuff), and Light (permanently available for the low price of 75 gp). But there's an addition- Light also emits heat as a flame.
Huh. Go look a Light. Object touched, no save, no SR, no mention of unattended, 10 min/level. Go look at being on fire. Reflex DC 15 to put it out, otherwise 1d6 damage. The only way for somebody else to get rid of Light is to dispel it or hit it with a darkness spell of some sort. You can just tag somebody's heavy armor and wait for it to cook them. Make a door handle or lock red-hot to slow down pursuers. Add new realism to your "the floor is lava" games.
Any more creative uses? My pyrokineticist will be using an ioun stone target as a way to keep warm.

1) where did you find the price of 75gp
Spell : Minimum Caster Level :GP Cost
Dancing Lights : 9th : 2,500 gp
2) where did you find that the spell emits heat?
This spell causes a touched object to glow like a torch, shedding normal light in a 20-foot radius from the point touched, and increasing the light level for an additional 20 feet by one step, up to normal light (darkness becomes dim light, and dim light becomes normal light). In an area of normal or bright light, this spell has no effect. The effect is immobile, but it can be cast on a movable object.

It's from Basic Pyrokinesis.
Element fire; Type utility (Sp); Level 1; Burn 0
You can use your inner flame to reproduce the effects of a flare, light, or spark cantrip, except that the light you create with light produces heat like a normal flame; using any of the three abilities ends any previous light effect from this wild talent.
While it produces heat, it doesn't say that the heat is damaging. I'd allow light to ignite combustibles like spark, but I wouldn't allow it to damage a creature or object.

A dull grey ioun stone with Continual Flame is 75gp. That doesn't give off heat, though.

Well, it's giving off as much heat as a flame, which is damaging with contact. Certainly there'll be some table variation since it's far from spelled out. And if it's non-damaging, there are still some fun things like a gauntlet of punch-things-on-fire.
