So basically, there are the basic six elements: Dark, Earth, Fire, Light, Wind, and Water. Followed by the two special cases: Omni and Void. On this page I'm going to try to explain this stuff a little. I'll seperate everything into little sections down here, in hopes that it will shine some light on how the elemental magic works, followed by the special cases.
To start off, each element has two basic types. Now, they may have other types as well, but we're not going to get too deep into it.
Chilling: This form of dark energy is the coldness that comes from the absence of light. Though there is a slight chance of freezing things with this type, it is more likely to slow the target down due to the effect.
Consuming: This form of dark energy is the standard. It eats away at things it touches at a rapid rate, like enzymes destroying bacteria. The consumption rate lasts depending on the potency of the spell. The stronger the magic, the longer it consumes.
Ground: This form of earth energy is the manipulation or creation of the ground itself. Causing spikes of stone to shoot out of the ground and other sorts of things are good examples.
Foliage: This form of earth energy is the control over plants and the like. Calling forth vines to entrap the target or cutting foes with razor sharp leaves are some examples.
Flame: The simple flame effect of fire is standard. Fireballs and walls of fire are all under this category.
Explosive: The more devestating form of fire energy. Where flames can leech about targets, explosions merely eliminate them. Some of the more powerful fire attacks are under this category, such as firecracker and purgatory.
Brilliance: The shining effects of light, which can be offensive or defensive. A light adept can concentrate light energy to have a burning effect that causes damage, or they can have illusions of light to confuse or dazzle the enemy. Attacks such as lightshower are offensive, while magic such as flash are defensive.
"Holy": The form of light energy that gives it the feeling of divine right, the "holy" form concentrates on things such as healing or protection. It can also be used to purify essences of pure evil, such as the undead or demons. Spells as simple as heal are of this type, or light wall for protection.
Wind: This form is the basic, consisting of the control of wind. Wind adepts can send out bursts of wind energy to knock foes back, or they can send super sharp gusts of wind, known as "blades" to cut the enemy.
Electricity: The control of lightning and the like. This form is generally the more powerful one, having spells such as lightning bolt or spark. Take note that plasma is also included in this form.
Movement: This is the form that make this element unique. Movement is what gives wind its sense of freedom. Simple spells such as levitation or flight are in this, and it also has some of the most powerful wind spells, known as teleportation.
Water: The standard form of water magic that holds under such things as water cannon and pillar of water.
Freezing: The more offensive form of water magic, freezing magic can cause things to be frozen, or can create solid objects of ice. This is often times used more by water adepts than their standard magic.
Life: The unique third form of water that brings out the symbol of life. These spells include things such as water-breathing and healing. Though Light tends to have more powerful healing spells, water tends to have more unique forms such as cure poison.
Now onto the two special cases of magic.
Seperate: This form of omni magic is when the omni adept taps into a single element for a spell. This is the standard form, and is often used by omni adepts to confuse their foes with the use of the elements at different times.
Combined: The form that truly makes omni adepts a force to be feared. Omni adepts have the ability to freely combine any of the elements into a single spell by themselves, such as fire tornado, that is a combination of fire and wind magic. Also, higher levels of this form include the ability to combine all the elements into a single, powerful blast with mutiple effects. Though these all-comined spells are fairly limited, consisting mostly of omni blast and omni shield, they are the "cream of the crop" when it comes to magical spells.
Positive: The bursts of sheer energy that seem like concussion blasts. Positive is the use of the "neutral" energy, and the standard form of attacking for a void adept. Take note that anything that the second form of energy, known as negative, absorbs can be used in an offensive or defensive manner through positive energy.
Negative: The form of void that cause many to fear it, negative void energy is the absorbtion of elemental energy. The energy absorbed by this form can be used only through the use of the positive form. The amount of energy a void adept can absorb all matters on his power, so the stronger the void adept the more he can absorb, the more he absorbs, the stronger the outward effect of his positive form is. Once an amount of elemental energy is absorbed, it must all be released at one time by the positive form, and it cannot be combined. So if the void adept absorbs two different elements, then he can use them seperately each one time, but not at once. This is the only drawback to the void magic.
This concludes my little lesson on the magic of my story, but it does not cover everything. I'm sure later on I will think of others things to add, or you may have questions that I can answer otherwise. I'll keep this all in mind and update this page whenever necessary.
