An ‹efficient› cause, by contrast, is an extrinsic cause, that is, a cause that does not communicate its own proper and (as I will put it) individual being to the effect, but instead communicates to it a different being, which really flows forth and emanates from such a cause by means of an action.
For the mode in question is the effect's emanation from or dependence on the act- ing cause.
According to Suárez's analysis, the heating system's action of heating is nothing but the emanation of my apartment's warmth from the heating system - and this emanation or dependence is modally distinct from the warmth.
This problem is at least alleviated if one can say that actions, although emanating from an agent, are not modes of these agents, but rather modes of their effects.
Section 2 above, the substantial form of water rather causes it to cool by means of natural emanation), but in virtue of its accidental form of heat.
