An elementalist is a Shaman in which makes pacts/bonds with elemental spirits in agreement to borrow their powers in certain scenarios. This pact would consist of a deal the elementalist has to do for the spirit (ie, bathing every morning for the water spirit), in return the spirit will grant you its name which can be used by the Shaman to call upon the spirit and use its powers.

An elementalist is a shaman whom establishes pacts with elemental based spirits. A pact would be defined as the shaman doing a specific action or ritual for said spirit. Example: Zogrocka makes a pact with an earth-based elemental spirit, he must collect a pebble daily to maintain his established pact with said spirit. Pacts can differ based on the power of the spirit. So if Zogrocka was talking with a much more powerful spirit his pact may have been to collect ''ten'' pebbles daily, rather than a single pebble; in this case, he was conversing with an extremely weak spirit, who gave him a rather simple pact. Keep in mind, elementalists can only converse within the elemental plane, they do not have the ability to go to the ancestral plane in a snap. However, if an elementalist was to be a lutauman, then it would be possible for them to change realms; however, this would require them to ''"leave"'' the elemental plane back to their mortal plane, then ''"go"'' to the ancestral plane.

Though an elementalist must be cautious who he tells the spirit’s name to, dark shamans can use the name and force the spirit against its will to do the Dark Shaman’s desires. The spirit’s name must stay private to the Shaman to prevent these incidents.

There are billions of elements, whatever Krug touched is an element (ie, touched fire). The most known elements are fire, water, wind, and earth. More complex elements would be storm and metal. Greater elements are illegal to RP, but they are life, death, time, space, light, and dark. None of these elements can be conjured, unlike void magic, elementalism is purely altering said element, you can neither add or subtract that of a substance, only alter what is present.

On his adventures he’d meet many elemental spirits (there can be multiple spirits of one element). The elementalist would have the choice to communicate with elemental spirits, and he would have the ability to question them for their name. Most spirits are picky with who they choose, they are more secretive to give away their name from past experiences with dark shamans. Spirits have their own personality, though they’d try and make a pact with the shaman if persuaded by his presentation.

As most Orcs know, elementalists have the power to alter elements at their (supposed) will. Though an elementalist has to call his spirit to his presence, which he does through chanting the spirit’s name. Over an allotted time the spirit would respond to his caller’s call, coming to his presence as he alters his labeled element for said task. Most elementalists though are also very discreet when to call on their spirit, speaking the spirits name is always a risk. The name of the spirit in the wrong hands can lead to the spirit being forced against his will whenever one speaks its name.

An elementalist is a shaman whom establishes pacts with elemental based spirits. A pact would be defined as the shaman doing a specific action or ritual for said spirit. Example: Zogrocka makes a pact with an earth-based elemental spirit, he must collect a pebble daily to maintain his established pact with said spirit. Pacts can differ based on the power of the spirit. So if Zogrocka was talking with a much more powerful spirit his pact may have been to collect ten pebbles daily, rather than a single pebble; in this case, he was conversing with an extremely weak spirit, who gave him a rather simple pact. Keep in mind, elementalists can only converse within the elemental plane, they do not have the ability to go to the ancestral plane in a snap. However, if an elementalist was to be a lutauman, then it would be possible for them to change realms; however, this would require them to "leave" the elemental plane back to their mortal plane, then "go" to the ancestral plane.

The Elements

There are a vast amount of elements within the mortal world, some still yet to be discovered. It is said, "Whatever He (Krug) touched became confined to one element." This, sadly, is just a creation story amongst Orcs. The creator was the one who truly created elements, and Apohet was the one whom created the spirit realm and all spirits within.

There are four main elements,

Fire Water Air Earth

There are two secondary elements,

Metal Storm

There are two tertiary elements,

Chaos Order

There are two quaternary elements,

Light Dark

Finally, there are two quinary elements,

Space Time

Only the main and secondary elements have been accessible to modern elementalists, but Krug and his shaman-kin were able to alter the fabric of both space and time. Everything beyond the secondary elements remains a mystery, inaccessible by the most powerful of elementalists.

Elementalists and The Elemental Plane

Elementalists are required to find the means to disconnect their spirit from their mortal body, and will it into the elemental plane (which resides in the spirit realm). A common tactic for doing this is to use cactus green, a drug produced from harvesting cacti and drying its innards out. Smoking cactus green achieves a slight lucid state within the spirit realm, in this case, the elemental plane. To get a more lucid connection to the elemental plane, you must find a much more powerful hallucinative drug, or obtain the ability to fall into a rhythmic trance via slow drum beat and accompanied by some hallucinogenics. Once reaching the elemental plane, you can begin forming your pacts with elemental spirits.

Elementalists and Altering Elements

As most may know, elementalists have the keen ability to alter elements. This is what separates an elementalist from a void evocationist (whom create elements via the void). A common misconception with others is that elementalists have the ability to heat up/cool down elements, this is false! Elementalists can only alter/bend what is present and what condition it is in. So if one was to have a cup of water, they would be incapable of taking that cup of water and making it boil, nor make it freeze into an ice shard; what they can do is take that water and move it however freely they want.
