Which is correct: pyromancer or arsonist?

That's right, "arsonist."

Explanation:

  • "Pyromaniac" is a correct term in Romanian and refers to a person who suffers from pyromania, which is a mental disorder characterized by an obsessive desire to intentionally cause fires or to feel attracted to fire. This term is used to describe individuals who exhibit a behavior pathologically related to the intentional setting of fire or the dangerous manipulation of fire. The term "pyromaniac" is formed from "pyro" (which refers to fire) and "man" (which indicates a disorder or obsession), and the suffix "-an" indicates a person suffering from this disorder.
  • "Pyromant" is not a correct term in context described. "Pyromant" may incorrectly suggest that a person has abilities fortune telling or prediction related to fire, which is not what defines pyromania disorder.

Therefore, it is correct to use "pyromaniac" when you want to refer to a person who suffers from pyromania, a mental disorder characterized by intentional arson or an obsessive attraction to fire in Romanian.
