The current prevailing theory is that an ice meteor/comet hit the atmosphere and flash-boiled, causing an Air Burst. However that is the current theory only because it;s the only explanation anyone has for a meteor-level explosion without a crater. There are some geologic explanations as well, for example; basically they say it was an exotic volcanic or nat. gas eruption rather than an exotic meteor.

So if any of those cases are true, it's once again a case of Ebenezer appropriating a handy aspect of the environment for the blast, rather than powering it entirely on his own.

Yes. Though my main point was just that there isnt any sort of real understanding of what happened or which environmental aspect was invovled; all they really know is what /didnt/ do it. It wasnt a normal meteor, a normal earthquake/volcano/methane vent, etc.
It could have been an ectoplsma wave from a huge Way, any number of Ley-line supported spells, a giant ghost fly-swatter that bled over to effecting the physical world, a kaiju....

Another possibility we haven't considered -- the blast may not have been something that Ebenezer made happen as an attack, but the result of him ganking a warlock in the middle of some huge spell they were preparing, and the gathered energy turning into fallout. Thinking of all the magic flying wildly around when Harry disrupted the Shadowman's spell and turn the knobs up.
