And it didn't just materialize out of thin air or come carbon copied from something that came before. They each sat down for long periods of time writing, collecting ideas, changing ideas, solidifying concepts. All until they came to a firm understanding of their own fictional universes.

As long as the rules are consistent in their own universe, they are true and believable for that universe. The world of Hydaelyn obeys its own laws with regard to magic. It operates just like the wheel says it does. And that's all it needs to do. Our approval need not apply.

Besides, this argument is extremely silly. Are you really saying you can't possibly fathom how an enormous magical gust of wind could smother/disrupt/damage a fire?
I agree with this 100%
