I highly recommend that you quickly read through these informative paragraphs. They will give you a firm understanding of elements, elementals, and other must know information.
Information on the elements and elementals have been published in government documents, which are then given out at any government official building. The documents states that there are seven known elements. They consist of Fire, water, lightning, dark, light, lunar, and blood. Multiple elements be found in one elemental. Theoretically, one can wield one, to all seven elements. Only one elemental today has been known to have the ability to wield five elements. There are around fifty that can wield two, thirty who can wield three, and fifteen who can wield four. So as you can see, it's quite uncommon to wield multiple elements. The document also states that elements can be combined to form combination elements. We call these elementals, fused elementals. These elementals wield two elements, but they are fused together. For example, William Shroffet, the man who can wield five elements is not a fused elemental. This means he can wield the lighting element and the dark element separately. Whereas one who wields two elements fused together would wield them both at once. An example is black lightning. It's the lightning element, and the dark element fused. There are 49 fusion combinations known in the field of fused elementals that wield two elements. So far it is only known for fused elementals to wield only two elements. There have been zero recorded fused elementals that wield three or more elements. At low levels, elements can counter each other. The order goes... Water counters fire, lightning counters water, dark counters lightning, light counters dark, lunar counters light, blood counters lunar, and fire counters blood. When an elemental brings there element(s) to a high level, the above counter strategy no longer works as it is only effective against low level elementals.
The chance of becoming an elemental is quite low, currently the percentage shows 0.0005% chance. This percentage is gradually increasing, but is expected to be steady in the near future. A reported of roughly three people per country has become an elemental every two days, not including elementals who haven't informed the government. Therefore it's probably a slightly higher chance. People can be tested for lying about not being an elemental by using a mechanism that contains all seven elements in capsules. If any of the capsules light up green, then they are an elemental. The capsule(s) that light up green are the element(s) that they can wield. If any two combination of elements light up blue, then they are a fused elemental that wields those two elements fused together. If all the capsules light up red, then they will be negative for being a elemental. Over a short amount of time, an elementals body will change based on the elements they wield. Such as having noticeably blue features for one who wields water. Some change randomly such as a significant height increase, or ear shape that results in better hearing. Even blind people have been completely restored due to their eyes being altered. Every elementals body changes in some way, all elementals will 100% have changes to their eyes, but some may also have changes to their body.
This marks the end of the informative paragraphs. Thanks for reading and enjoy the novel!
