Proof of ability

"Are you still struggling to control your ability?" Eldrian asked and Brazan nodded. "Alright, please attempt it again." 

Moving to the kitchen, they lit the oven. Taking a thin piece of wood, Brazan set it aflame and slowly took control of the flames. 

Instead of trying to use mana sense, Eldrian closed his eyes and spread his consciousness in a way similar to how he and Two scanned their surroundings. This time he searched for any changes near Brazan. 

Shockingly, he found that what Brazan was doing was trying to control the element of fire (fire-mana) instead of fire itself. Yet, according to what Brazan himself had said, he couldn't control the element of fire- only fire itself. 

Understanding this, Eldrian realized that Brazan might not understand what fire really is. And if he could actually feel the element of fire, then he should be able to learn how to control it too with ease.
