Elemental channeling

[Rias]

Elemental channeling is now active until you manually stop or become too tired to continue channeling. Channeling drains energy per second, draining by larger amounts as you channel more elements (up to 3 max). This means that to cast the higher-tier elemental spells you no longer have to prep 3 times for each cast. You can simply, for instance, prep pyromancy 3 times and then cast the third-tier firebolt multiple times in a row.

You can use the ELEMENTS command to see which elements you are currently channeling.

You can use RELEASE by itself to release all elements currently being channeled, or you can specify a specific element to release by name. For instance, you can prep pyromancy three times, cast a few tier-3 firebolts, then release pyromancy once and prep geomancy to result in now channeling pyro/pyro/geo and being able to toss some lavabolts.

Example:

pyro
Your hands glow with fiery light as you begin channeling the element of fire.
Roundtime: 3 seconds.

geo
Your hands glow with amber light as you weave the element of earth into your conjuration.
Roundtime: 3 seconds.

cryo
Your hands glow with pale blue light as you weave an intense cold into your conjuration.
Roundtime: 3 seconds.

You are unable to continue channeling elements due to exhaustion.

Oh, and as seen above, lavabolt now results in a damage-over-time effect. Fun.
