That sounds a bit like how magic works where I come from. Intent - what you want to accomplish and in what form - is important. Though... the magic you use is your own, right? If it's alright for me to ask... [She paused, thinking for a moment.] It's your own store of magic, or is it borrowed from the environment? Mages in my world mostly default to the latter, with the help of Neighbors. I can do both... though I suppose using what's already existing causes less strain.
