I have noticed that throughout all five novels, forms of the word incandescent occur only during the onscreen utilization of sorcery.

I have noted one exception:

Quote
“What do you know of Shimeh?” Kellhus asked.

The walls shivered beneath a fierce succession of gusts, and the flame twirled with abrupt incandescence. The hanging pelts lightly rocked to and fro. Leweth looked about, his brow furrowed, as though he strained to hear someone.

“It’s a long way off, Kellhus, through dangerous lands.”

Are forms of the word incandescent reserved for uses of sorcery?

In the quoted scene, is sorcery occurring that Kellhus and the reader may otherwise be unaware of?

If so, will you elaborate on what Kellhus (and possibly readers) may have missed in this scene?

Absent an ebook, I am unable to confirm if the limited use of versions of the word incandescent holds true in the great ordeal. I Completely forgot to look.
