Indeed, "infinite in theory but not necessarily in practice" is a good way to explain a lot of the "perpetual energy" applications of the setting. Like how monster/incubus couples can survive entirely off each other's energy, but most only do so if they have to (i.e. a farming couple's crop fails and they can't afford to buy food for a season).
