Master Sahira paused for a moment. Then she explained,
"Since we aren't directly controlling whatever phenomenon we create—in the sense that we can't simply turn it on and off or increase or decrease its intensity directly as we wish—we have to be extremely precise with the conditions we establish to bring the phenomenon into being.
"An analogy I make for my students is to get them to imagine most other forms of Magic as an extension of your body. A reasonably good Mage can control spells almost as naturally and flexibly as they control their hands and feet.
"On the other hand, Space Magic is similar to setting a trap. You aren't controlling the trap per se. You are controlling the circumstances surrounding how the trap operates. Once the trap is sprung, it is mostly out of your control.
