Elemental Manipulation:
Elemental manipulation is a very common form of magic. It is one of the easiest to learn and yet is also one of the most varied magic with a great many different spells that could be learned and mixed. The basic elements are the easiest to learn and include fire, water, earth and air. Two other basic elements are a little harder to learn and they are known as the prime elements of light and shadow. While there are powerful skills and techniques that can be used with the 4 prime elements the truly mighty techniques come from combining elements. A simple example would be combining fire magic with earth magic can create magma techniques. The Prime elements can be mixed in many ways and even some mixed magic can be combined with other mixed magic. While the Prime Elements can’t be mixed it can be enhanced and evolve into more powerful magic types. There are two Ancient Elements that exist that have been lost threw time waiting to be discovered anew. To use elemental magic you first need to learn of the element and then the next step is to mold the element into the technique you wish to use. Knowing one technique doesn't mean that you can use the technique with a different element. Just because you can use a fire shot doesn't mean you can use water shot right away. Though it will make it easier to know the technique with a different element you still need to practice it.
