In our Universe, the “element” of fire is really just the occurrence of a chemical combustion reaction. But in the other universe, fire has substance, just as earth, water, or air does.

As such, matches or lighters from our universe do not function in the other because, like everything that comes from our universe, they do not contain any element of “true” fire. They are just ways of starting a combustion reaction.

Combustion chemical reactions, as we understand them in this universe, do not work In other universe. Any technology that relies on combustion (cars, propane torches, etc.) does not function there.

            In our Universe, “cold” is really just the absence of heat. There is a minimum temperature: the point at which there is no heat. It is physically impossible to get any colder (defined as zero degrees Kelvin, which is the same as -459 Fahrenheit, or -273 degrees Celsius). There is no such thing as “negative heat”.

            But in the other universe, “cold” exists independent of heat. They both exist, as opposing forces. Mages might specialize in fire magic or ice magic, or have some of both.

            Given this, I wonder if it means their universe does not have a minimum temperature.
