Is it just me, or does the current ideology of magic in videogames and television and such, make no sense whatsoever?

how can they just summon fire in the air, it's just air

how can they just pass electricity through air, air is a very hard medium for electrons to travel through

know what IS in the air? humidity

water would be an acceptable thing to swipe out of the air with their fingers

then from there it can make so much more sense

they can likely rub all that water against a surface at high velocity until the friction starts a fire

or they can have some sort of small metal object that they can yeet across the room and use water to maintain a conductive wire-like connection running from their fingers to the metal object

THEN they can send electricity, likely from their own nervous system/life force through that "wire" until it reaches the metal object

in which the metal object will be close enough to the enemy that the electricity can THEN travel through the air in REALISTICALLY SHORT arcs to zap the enemy

    So what you're saying, I think, is that fiction isn't real.  You're clearly a f ucking genius.
