myconv: I also once again note how there is no cost to her casting magic.

wpegg: I haven't read the books, don't know much about the lore, but I did notice that she took all the fire away from the settlement before sending it on the enemy troops. I assume that was the cost repaid.
It costs life energy to move a small rock a very short distance but not a inferno?

There is energy in hot spots in the Earth. This, however, is never actually addressed in the tv series. There is always a cost to use magic. The fire also provides energy. But you are correct, they seem to play fast and loose with some of the rules at times. I do forgive most of it because it is an incredible adaptation of the books so far.

There is also portals that are regularly made, plants growing into doors, and that guy constantly bringing back his sword till he ran out of chaos mana among many other examples.

Breja: And how is the story literally called The Edge of the World (or whatever the english translation title was) supposed to have the same the same mood, convey the same sense of place when it is now just some 40% of an episode which mostly takes place in other places all over the civilized world, including freaking Hogwarts? The Edge of the World is my favorite of all the Witcher stories, it's at the same time very funny, and tragic, and wistful and nostalgic, a masterfully balanced blend of emotions and a great sense of a real place conveyed. It's all gone becuase the makers of the show need to have battles, politics and wizards all here, all right now.
But the way it is shown it underlines human oppression of the elves so much better!

Inferno IS life energy. At least in the books mages can draw energy from all the four elements.

If fire can be used as life energy, why not just have a never ending bonfire they keep going?

Because of all sources it produces most volatile and uncontrollable magic. Ciri almost gone mad in the desert when trying to get some energy from it and only managed to stay sane by locking her magical powers for good.
