After reading the books on fire magic I was able to learn a lot about the art. From what I had read, I now perceived fire magic as a mass of energy manifesting heat, I had assumed the fire was just the flames but I now realised the ignorance I had had then. Apart from this, I learnt several principles of fire magic, besides being magically based, it also had several physical properties that I found interesting.
First off, I tried the basic representation of fire magic, fire itself.
I held out my hand in front of me and gathered mana in my palm. I ignited it and a flame appeared on my hand.
"The flame was bright orange. I added more mana into it but retained it it turned yellow and the heat rose by several folds, I added a lot more mana and it changed instantly from yellow to white. At that point, I could feel the heat on my face and despite being able to bear it, I chose to put it out, a flame this hot was extremely dangerous.
