    All superpowers and magic can in some way be used to create perpetual energy machines.

    Another way to do this without carbon would be to just summon them high up and sad they fall they spin turbines. Though you’d end up with a ton of baguettes and nothing to do with them

      First drop then burn. You’re back to carbon but you double the efficiency (might not be double I’m not a psychic)

        A kilogram of bread is about 2000 calories, about 9 kJ. Your body “burns” food too - probably more efficiently than you could make a steam engine for the same, but it’s about that much.

        Energy from gravity is equal to mass * gravity acceleration * height. 1 kg of bread in a 9.81 m/s/s field has the same gravitational potential at “about a kilometer”.

        If you’re throwing magic stake baguettes off the top of the Burj Khalifa, the energy would be about equal.
