Hrm... I'm being misquoted :)

Jaern is infused with magic from all of the elements (as are most
worlds in some proportion or another). Hence you can gather energy
from Jaern just by being there. There is no 'recharge' because this
isn't batter theory. Rest is rest. If you rest you can cast more.
If there's no energy for you to channel then you can't cast, but the
potential is there and fully available the second you step into an
area where there is energy.

I was hypothesizing that a great enough different from Jaernian
norm could make channeling a particular element either easier or
harder... resulting in (game terms) less or more spell units for
that day. Maybe even a small bit of fire, while not giving you more
units, gives you a cozier feeling when you cast because you've tipped
the balance a little. Being on the elemental plane of fire you could
cast until you've lost the destinction between yourself and the plane.
