Elemancers

The Elemancers are scholars of the elements, seeking to understand how they constitute and effect our world as well as striving to learn how to manipulate the elements according to their will. As an organization, the Elemancers are neutral - they have no particular agenda or political goals.

Playstyle

Overall

Elemancers are the archetypal mages or wizards, able to control the elements by willpower and underlying basic knowledge of said elements. They have a well-rounded array of magical abilities, affording them great versatility and spectacular powers.

Combat

Elemancers can use their elemental powers to wield the elements themselves in battle, and may learn several abilities that can effect multiple targets at once. They also learn many defensive elemental shielding abilities. While the University doesn't teach any non-magical combat skills, Elemancers can utilize their influence over the elements to enhance combat skills that they learn independently from general trainers or independent practice. As an example, an Elemancer might channel fire while swinging a sword for a chance to accompany a sword strike with a burst of fire.
