What do you mean, Ravor? Or, let me rephrase that: Where did I suggest "creating something from mana"? Maybe I said soemthing I didn't intend?

Sorry, I was reponding to darthmord's suggestion that since you can create stuff out of mana you can in turn "vent" bodyheat by the reverse process. The only spell that I can remember that actually created sometihng out of nothing was the "magic food" and I'm pretty sure that it was removed.

Now if only we bould get Turn to Goo and it's bastard cousin removed or at least retconned to be in line with the laws of magic as well...

Oh! But you CAN turn mana into "something", just it's usually short-lived something:

Fire
Acid
Water

I'm sure there are other things. Technically you're "making" something from mana, but it's not permanent and it's not an object.

Tell that to Free Spirits with the Wealth power. (Though to be fair, that one has been moved to the "these-will-twist-your-plot" Greater Powers list.)
