Reddit reviews Master of the Five Magics: (#1)

In Master of the Five Magics the limiting factor for summoning a demon was what type of material you were burning as part of the ritual, combined with the size of the fire. So summoning something like a tiny imp might be done with something as small and mundane as a candle. Anyhow, near the climax of the novel some uncontrolled demons basically create a positive feedback loop, where they build a large fire and keep throwing more and more exotic fuels onto it, bringing over larger and more exotic demons, who join in and start ripping up entire trees to throw on the fire, etc.

I thought it was The Conjuring (it's a satanic ritual) and he surprisingly went back to playing that one live recently. Five Magics is based on a fantasy book saga.

Although various early authors developed rules for how their magic worked (LeGuin, Vance), and Sanderson seems to write novels for the purpose of explaining his magic systems, this is the first real textbook: https://www.amazon.com/Master-Five-Magics-Lyndon-Hardy/dp/0345334256

It's not a major plot point, but the main character in Master of the Five Magics does that near the end of the book.
