Elemental
“The elements are very much alive. The surge of addictive power. Every time you draw upon them in urgency, they sink deeper into you. They change you. They grow within you until you are consumed.”
Core Effect Tree
Core Effect Tree: Only Available at Awakening
While some have a tepid talent for elementalism and may learn by studying one element at a time, you were born with the innate ability to call upon them. You’ve likely been able to light small fires by snapping your fingers or playfully zap your friends.
Awakening: It starts as a kind of wanting. The obvious solution to problems become fire and lightning. Snapping your fingers has grown into a blaze of fire, and your little shocks have turned into fatal arcs to buzzing flies. You can summon stone, water, or air at a whim, freeze or set them on fire. They’re like spirits, too. They each make you feel some kind of way, energetic or calm, sometimes angry or filled to brim with joy.
They noticed you playing with the elements. This talent is not easy to hide when it is so easy for you to call the elements. They are every day tools, an extension of you.
Temptation of the Elements
The elements have become a part of you. With every cast mastery is gained. With every cast we pay the elements a piece of our being. This power eventually leads to our selves becoming one with raw nature.
Oakening
Oakening Core Effect Tree Talents grant us their associated Root Effect Tree without paying the xps costs. The Oakening range is typically 0 to 3, though some effects may require more growth.
First Wake of Fire - Talent: Firelight [Torch]
Firelight
Harmless flames engulf any or all of your body illuminating the area around you. The illumination can go from the dim light of a candle to a bright torch that bathes up to Sphere: 3 in light.
Effects
Activation: As the Firelight inside you is of its own will, it may activate without the use of your Action Slots. As a will of its own, it has 1 Action Slot each Full Round.
Illuminate: Bathe up to 3 Tiles in every direction centered on you in gentle Firelight. It may seem as if part or all of you is on fire, but this Wake of Fire yields no heat. Adjusting Illuminate takes Firelight 1 Action Slot, and the change takes the Full Round.
Ignite: Firelight becomes like a match, gathering together within 3 Tiles of you to set fire to a Flammable object. During Ignite, Illuminate will dim and be at the location of what it is setting on fire. Ignite is a Within Reason Effect.

Oakening Firelight: 0 to 3
