      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

A fire would just be the most visible source of energy.  You can pull it from other sources as well, the higher the base temperature of the item(tree, stone, animal), the more energy available.  Anything above absolute zero will have some atomic motion(energy).   We might think of a stone laying on the ground as "cold", yet it is relatively warm on the Kelvin scale.   Once you  have this energy, you can use it as you will.  Making flame would just be one application.   Energy can be converted into any type of matter.  There's even an equation for it. E=MC2 or Energy = Mass x the speed of light squared.   

With the ability to manipulate energy/matter you could produce any number of "magical" effects.  Freezing someone(removing their body heat), or turning the ground at their feet to some other form, like lava or quicksand.   Or even the long sought after Philosopher's Stone, turning lead/iron etc, into gold.  

So there's no real need to destroy an object to release it's energy.  More a siphoning of it rather than a total conversion.  

The details of how this is accomplished would need to remain unexplained.  Otherwise it wouldn't be magic, but science.
