An '''element''' is one of the five basic building blocks - earth, fire, air, water, and spirit - that compose the material world. Pure, unspoiled elements manifest most profusely on their respective elemental [[:category:planes|planes]]. These planes are populated almost solely by [[elementals]] of that plane's given type and are lorded over by a primary elemental being. (For example, [[Kkractle]], the Eternal Fire, is the chief fire elemental, although some [[Achaea|Achaean]] physicists would argue that this Elemental Lord is the plane itself, a mere sentient manifestation of an otherwise seemingly inanimate terrain. The other Elemental Lords are [[Garash]], the Immovable Mountain, [[Sllshya]], the Great Ocean, and [[Whiirh]], the Western Wind; | An '''element''' is one of the five basic building blocks - earth, fire, air, water, and spirit - that compose the material world.

As an example of a raw element, the fires of both the [[sun]] and the [[phoenix]] are composed of nearly pure elemental fire. [[Elemental ice]], on the other hand, is frozen elemental water shaped by the [[Tsol'aa village|Tsol'aa villagers]] of the [[Aalen Forest]]. | ||
Mortals can call upon the elements by way of the [[Elementalism]] and [[Healing]] [[skills]]. A [[Vertani]] parallel may be drawn in the priests of [[House Hasii]], who work with the spirit element in lieu of worshipping a given deity. By Vertani beliefs, the spirit element is a manifestation of the [[All]]. | Mortals can call upon the elements by way of the [[Elementalism]] and [[Healing]] [[skills]].
