[Formal Magic]

The professor nods

But have you considered that perhaps your fire does give off heat... but also gives off cold in equal amounts and thus cancels the effect?

Thus we have the beginning of Formal Magic: a rigorous, proper investigation into the why and the how of the effects that so many of us take for granted. It is important because only once you truly understand what our magic does can you change what it does with any expectation of reasonable results.

Returning to our example, as it turns out you are correct, Mr. Genji: your fire is putting out both heat and light but at such tiny quantities as to be negligible.
