I told my husband it looked to me like she did more than dump over the braziers, but that she actually commanded the flame. He said no, the braziers had either hot wax or oil under the coals (a common enough thing IRL, I myself have made the wax kind), and that was enough to cause the flames to spread quickly.
I disagree. I still think it looked like she commanded the flame. If you watch the Dothraki run, and she follows them with a turn of her head, and the flames follow her lead. I honestly think we are seeing a new bit to her superpower there, that she is not only unburnt by flame, but ruler of it as well.
Watch her at 3:44 as the flames climb the pillars with unwarrented rapidity, and again at 3:48, where the flames RACE after one of the Khals as she follows him with a turn of her head. Edited to add, lastly at 4:10, check out the ROARING noise after she pushes the final Brazier at Khal Moro and the fire literally rushes at him like a living thing. It sounds a bit like a dragon roar, and is not part of the music.

I think she pushed the flames higher and faster, somehow. I think the speed of the flames is supposed to tell the audience about this new deveopment. Mutant superpower indeed!
