'''Elementalism''' is a magical skill that harnesses the power of the four physical [[element|elements]]: earth, air, water, and fire. There are two types of Elementalism in [[Achaea]], each one unique to either the [[Magi]] or [[Sylvan]] [[class]]. The latter is the younger of the two, its differences from the original Elementalism discovered with the introduction of the Sylvan class in 329 AF.
'''Elementalism''' is a magical skill that harnesses the power of the four physical [[element|elements]]: earth, air, water, and fire. Elementalism in [[Achaea]], is unique to the [[Magi]] [[class]]. Though in the past previously held by the [[Sylvan]].The latter is the younger of the two, its differences from the original Elementalism discovered with the introduction of the Sylvan class in 329 AF.


Elementalism is a relatively straightforward skill. By opening channels to four of the five Elemental realms (Magi do not use the Spirit realm), you will be able to cast a wide variety of elementally-based offensive and defensive spells. The effects of these spells might range from summoning an efreeti to calling down the might of Vastar, the Skylord, in the Stormhammer, to bringing forth fog or hail.

Similar to the manner in which stonefist coats your fists in stone, stoneskin coats much of your body in stone, providing some protection against physical attacks (more from blunt than from cutting damage). As your skill in elementalism increases, so will the protection this ability affords you.

:::                  SECRETE SAP

: '''Extra Information:''' Channels: Earth, Water
 
: '''Details:'''
 
Meaning 'green' in an ancient language, a Viridian is a living, walking embodiment of the flora of the land. Upon casting this spell, you will quickly transform into one as thorny vines cover your body and burrow into your flesh. You will become stronger, able to endure more damage, and gain a protective bonus to physical damage done to you however your movements will be slightly hampered. You will also be able to THORNREND a target, doing great damage with your undulating, thorny vines. As well, you will be able to LACERATE a target's throat, slashing vocal cords and causing great pain. HUMAN will allow you to change back into your normal form. Be aware that remaining in this form is a constant drain on your willpower.
 
If you have learned the TARGETING ability in Weaponry, you may optionally direct your thornrend at a specific body part, causing additional damage to an arm, leg, or the head or torso of your opponent.
 
If you have gained the ENVENOM ability in Weaponry then you may envenom your arms, which will deliver a venom to your target when you thornrend. Otherwise, you may SECRETE SAP to coat your arms in a single application of the Loki venom.
 
* STAFF option may be added to allow transformation into the mighty Viridian in areas that are not normally conducive to plant growth.
