Transform Nature in Elements of Magic allows for the Matter enhancement, which allows you to force Fire, Time, etc. to take on a physical form.
Where I'm confused (okay, one of the many places where I'm confused!) is where this links to the Different Element enhancement.
If I use Transform Nature to allow the Matter Enhancement to turn a fire into a burlap sack...what spell lists does this require, and what enhancements (assuming I want range=touch and 1 min duration)?
Do I need to use BOTH Transform Nature to allow the Matter enhancement and also pay for the Different Element enhancement, or does Matter assume a different element since that's all it does is make a force into matter?
If I use Transform Nature to gain the Matter enhancement, does this incorporate the physical form, or do I have to pay points as I would for Create Nature based on the value of the object, then add 1 MP for Matter?
I realize this question set is getting long, but as an example what would the spell look like to transform a large fire into a natural materials object worth 100 gp? CREATE Nature says this costs 1 MP for the object, so would this apply here?
So would it be 1 point for Matter, 1 MP for the value of the object, for a total of 2 MP to change a fire into such an object (assuming I wanted to risk burning my fingers with a range of touch).
Or would it be 1 point for Matter, 1 point for Different Element (fire to nature), and 1 MP for the value of the item...?
Or is it something different, or impossible to accomplish?
