this one belongs in "justified" rather than "exaggerated" I think.

** Ditto for [[PlayingWithFire fire]] or [[KillItWithIce ice]] magic; metal conducts heat just as well as electricity and Alice doesn't want to burn or freeze herself.


Added DiffLines:

** Alice specializes in enchanting objects, so the more armor she wears, the stronger her powers are.
