Elemental Magick
So now you want to know about elemental magick. Well then, you shall. Elemental Magick isn't really based on the tangable elements themselves as one might think. (Sorry but you will not be able to set your enemies on fire by using the element of fire.) It's actuially based more on the "spirit" of the elements. So say for instance that someone was trying to harness the element of fire. To do this you would have to use what is "behind" the flame. The very esence of it. The energy behind the fire, for that is what is going to cause the action, and or the, manifestation that you wish to occur.
I'm pretty sure that you can guess which element will cause the desired effect. So take that knowledge and use it wisely. And remember that spirit is an element too, and also one of the most powerfull. Almost anything you can think of can be done with this element. For spirit is the combination of all the elements into one, and nothing like any of them all at the same time.
An Elemental is the controling force behind an element. By creating an Enemental you have created a tool, of sorts, to help you control the energy behind an element. A way to channel and envision the flow of this energy. By doing this you can now direct the energy better and herefore get a better result.
