Elementalism is a relatively straightforward skill. By opening channels to four of the five Elemental realms (Magi do not use the Spirit realm), practitioners can 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. Elementalism used to be practised by the [[Sylvan]] class as well, but was abandoned in 680 AF when they syncronised their abilities with a great storm and it was replaced with the skill of [[Propagation]].

|detail=Certain Elemental Spells cause a form of resonance with the Elemental Planes upon which they draw(*). As your resonance grows, the last target of the spell you cast to cause that increase in resonance will suffer various affects, listed below. Resonance is fleeting and will fade over time.<br><br>Air:<br>-Minor resonance: gives asthma.<br>-Moderate resonance: gives sensitivity.<br>-Major resonance: gives healthleech.<br>Earth:<br>-Minor resonance: breaks a random limb (it will always pick an unbroken limb).<br>-Moderate resonance: stuns the target for a short time and gives paralysis.<br>-Major resonance: gives cracked ribs (it does not increase the number of cracked ribs a target has - only ever gives the base affliction).<br>Fire:<br>-Minor resonance: both strips and gives an effect which prevents the raising of the temperance defence..<br>-Moderate resonance:                    scalds the target. If the target is already scalded, sets the target ablaze and deals some damage.<br>-Major resonance: gives the blistered affliction. If they're already blistered, gives a stack of the ablaze affliction.<br>Water:<br>-Minor resonance: gives the frostbite affliction. If it is already present, does some damage.<br>-Moderate resonance: gives the stuttering affliction and deals some cold damage.<br>-Major resonance: gives the anorexia affliction.<br><br>* These are listed under AB ELEMENTALISM.<br>** Note that resonance is only generated if your spell is targeted against an adventurer who is directly within your location when it resolves (i.e. ranged firelash will not generate resonance, but in room will).<br>*** You can set your verbosity for seeing resonance messages to none, low or high. The default is low.

Located in the depths of the [[Eastern Ithmia]], the forestal village of [[Eleusis]] was revealed by the [[dryads|dryad]] queen [[Titania]] to a group of [[Sentinels of Nature|Sentinels]] in the year 271 AF following [[Vixen|Vixen's]] bout of illness. Eleusis is a naturally formed habitat in the Ithmia's treetops for the [[forestal|forestals]] of [[Sapience]] to call home. Dedicated to the preservation and expansion of Nature, Eleusis follows the words of the [[Viridian Charter]] in efforts against cities of iron and stone and those that infringe upon Nature and those that do it harm.

The village of Eleusis was officially formed in the month of [[Daedalan]], 324 years after the fall of the [[Seleucarian Empire]], by Covenant Stormcrow, Tearstorm Le'Yuet, Riakar Nakanishi, Elsp Le'Yuet, and Mysti La'Saen. It is led by a council made up of five Hierophants who are elected by popular vote. From these five, one leader is chosen to be the Speaker of Eleusis. The term Hierophants, for the council members, used to be Leath-ris (literally, "half-kings").

|required=150 mana
|channels=Fire
|target=Adventurers
|cooldown=2.35 seconds of equilibrium
|detail=This higher order fire spell will cause a conflagration to engulf your target. This conflagration will deal periodic damage until the person is able to extinguish it. The only way to do this is to remove all traces of the ablaze affliction from their person.<p>For the purposes of this spell, suitably vulnerable requires that the target has two or more stacks of the ablaze affliction.</p>

Formerly the home of [[The Sylvanic Fellowship]], the [[Sentinels of Nature]], and the [[Ancient Circle of Druids]], now the [[Heartwood Kin]] and [[Scions of the Ithmia]] stand proudly upon its boughs.

|syntax=CAST EMANATION AT <target> <AIR|EARTH|FIRE|WATER>
|required=100 mana
|channels=Air, Earth, Fire, and Water
|target=
|cooldown=2.40 seconds of equilibrium
|detail=This higher order spell will allow you, when you are majorly resonant with one of the Elemental Planes, to unleash all of your accumulated power in a single devastating strike. This clears any resonance you have with the given Plane, and each type has a various affect:<p>Air: your target will be struck down with paralysis and dizziness, as well as being stunned for a short time.<p>Earth: your target's torso will become calcified. Additionally, if cast against someone with serious internal trauma, your foe shall be slain outright.<p>Fire: your target will be given two stacks of the ablaze affliction.<p>Water: your target will be given a level of freeze (or have the insulation defence stripped), and will be disrupted.<p>All emanations deal damage.</p>

Eleusis is guarded by [[Tsol'aa]] archers, Dryad Enchantresses, Briar Knights, Woodland Rangers, Eleusian Elementalists, and [[Treekin]] warriors, as well as its [[City guardian|Greater Eidolon]], the [[Guardian of Thorns]].

|target=
|cooldown=3.00 seconds of equilibrium
|detail=With major resonance to the Elemental Plane of Water achieved, you may cast this higher order to keep your blood and body ever clean of many malign forces(*).

On 1 Sarapin, 960 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire, Eleusis ascended to become the Primordial Empire of Nature. Through the use of both martial prowess and diplomancy, the Empire was raised in offering to the Earthmother, Lady Gaia.

|cooldown=2.90 seconds of equilibrium
|detail=This formidable higher order spell requires that your victim has progressed to the fourth stage of the dissonance affliction and requires moderate resonance to all of the Elemental Planes at a minimum. You may then place this mark upon your target, and thus spell their doom. A target you have converged is vulnerable to your staffcast magic no matter where they might flee upon your current continent, and your scrying magic will incur no equilibrium when seeking them out. Additionally, they will become very vulnerable to all forms of elemental and magical damage coming from your arcane personage, and your magic will bypass any shield or prismatic barrier they may attempt to raise(*).<p>* Or similar defences.</p>

On the 13th of Daedalan, 882 AF, 558 years from the day of its contemporary re-founding, the dulcet tones of the Nymphean Octave rose towards the heavens in a soaring refrain sung in triumphant exultation of long-awaited consolidation as the village of Eleusis became a representative theocracy.

== Landmarks ==
===Spells of Warding and Protection===
This small forestal village is rich with culture. It has grown immensely since adventurers started trampling through its branches over six centuries ago, but still remains quaint and quiet, keeping its unique solitude.


The entire village is a landmark in itself. No other "city-state" and indeed, no other village can claim to be anything like it. Upon entering the village, you must trek up a spiraled staircase which will take you up a level into the trees. You walk along the tree branches for wherever you need to go, only ever seeing ground level again if you wish to visit the Sentinel or Sylvan House halls, '''the Eleusian Fields''' and stables, the bait shop, or the lush chapel on the [[Zaphar River]]. The [[Gaian Vale]], Eleusis' subdivision, may be found near the river.

One may be inclined to visit [[Muria]] along the '''Oaken Way''' of Eleusis and hear her tales of Sentinel history. Unveiled by Lady Gaia, find the [[Viridian Charter]] cast against the Great Oak. Its golden script can be seen throughout Eleusis, but read more clearly by the arboreal ramparts near the '''Central Hall in the Great Oak''', a local meeting place of Eleusis. A great statue of [[Covenant|Covenant Stormcrow]], the first speaker of Eleusis, graces the hall, seemingly ready to come alive and belt out a yodel for all the world to hear. '''The Cauldron of Infinity''' can be found at the '''Tears of Eleusis''', a permanent reminder of the [[War of the Divine Child]] (See also: [[City-relics]]). '''The [[Collosea en Duir]]''', or "The Colosseum of the Oak" in common Achaean, is the Eleusian arena. This all-natural terrain arena can be found in the southwestern part of Eleusis. Moving beyond the subdivision and the bait shop, a lush chapel overlooks the river, holding within the Flame of Nature and Altars reflecting different environments.
