I'm translating fairy tales and historical texts, as usual. Sorry to bother you with all this magical stuff, but the words compatibility really kills me! So, imagine that a person (who is not really a person, but a demon) has a special power - he can evoke fire. He appeares from the fire and reappeares in some other places with the help of it. So... does it sound ok: "He strains to the utmost to evoke fire, but when he looks at his hands they produce only weak gleam". The troublesome places are in bold.
