Elements
There are seven fundamental arcane elements that are used in magic:
- Aether, the element of mystery, which embodies emptiness and the ethereal.
- Dust, the element of decay, which embodies death and erosion.
- Iron, the element of strength, which embodies protection and substance.
- Lightning, the element of energy, which embodies speed and precision.
- Mercury, the element of change, which embodies fluidity and adaptation.
- Panacea, the element of life, which embodies health and vigor.
- Sulphur, the element of combustion, which embodies power and flame.
Each of the spells can be bolstered and changed in strange ways by the introduction of these elements.
