Baby Mage

In a world where a child possessing magic could be born to anyone, trained mage agents have to find them and bring them to a special facility where they can learn to harness their powers before they accidentally blow someone up. Most children gain use of their powers gradually and don't reach full potential until their teens, so the agents are usually tipped off before something big happens.

The MC, on the other hand, suddenly gains all of his/her magic at the age of three. The next time s/he throws a typical toddler tantrum, s/he ends up burning her house down with her parents still inside. S/he's still too young to understand what happened, and thinks the reason why everyone looks at her all weird when the agents take her to the facility is that s/he's the youngest person there. All the people there are old enough to realize that the truth would destroy him/her, and decide not to tell.

She grows up a friendly, normal person.

And then someone, trying to be mean, finally tells him/her. The results are not pretty.
