Magic is just a faster and more efficient way of manipulating the elements.
A fire hose doesn't make water, silly! It just pushes it. A fan pushes wind, just like water, but can it make a gust of wind like an ocean of water can? I don't think so! And matches don't make fire. Rubbing the match against something makes it heat up, and the tip of the match is the appropriate substance. So hah!
