The idea would suggest that casting Blizzard allows the THM to think so clearly, or have such a strong mind, that he never runs out of Mana, while casting Fire makes the THM brain dead.Whilst I'm not knocking the idea at all it did make me think instantly of the Terry Pratchett Trolls, they think faster when they are cold so troll businessmen conduct their meetings in freezers
Anyway to throw my thought it I normally go with the mental fortitude idea for how magic has an effect on the body in games. Â Your point about the spells does raise an interesting question. Â I still don't really know enough about lore to go into great depth on these topics.
