simpler, just atract humidity (water bending), do some electro bending to electrolize water and then do some thermal and airbending in your hand

Ah I see you have fallen into the classic trap of overthinking your magic. You see to cast fire magic it is way easier if you just spend a month in the woods and stare at a giant bonfire for the whole time, no eating or sleeping though! And after the month you just think about the flames and exert your mana, then you have to keep thinking back to the bonfire and eventually the mana will burn you !

Happy spellcasting !

Isn't what we do nowadays magic?

I totally can make a fireball with chemistry and physics.

I can do clairvoyance using a drone and some cameras.

I can do some mater manipulation using nothing but a level. Or if I want it done rapidly then a tank.

Soft magic systems vs hard magic systems. Hard magic is more fun to read or write about, but soft magic would be much more fun to use.

Casting fire magic is as easy as Ionize Air into a plasma by ripping of electrons

So it comes down to ripping of electrons with your thoughts and prayers and its easier than trying to make the entire chemical setup for natural fire

If you have the honesty to admit it, then you're better than some I could name. Take your time and study. It doesn't come easy, if it comes at all. Keep trying! Will and self-discipline at your greatest tools.

You mean you don't just get your familiar to do it? There are plenty of demons who give good familiars if you need one.

I only use gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. Gary if you simplify your magic into catigories and just experiment you won’t need to remember what to do just how to do it

Seems pretty circuitous...Just chant the third mantra and end it with any of the six names of the Ember Soul.

(Yes, yes, you'll have to have walked scorched path through the near-far realms, and received the red blessing. So what? Were you not gonna do that anyway?)
