Element Study 2: Fire & Stories

Today’s lesson was a bit less specific than the last one. Everyone had an idea about what to do with fire in general, but no idea with its unique properties. Then nobody wanted to poke stories after I told them not to use it.

1. Fire

Fire is an interesting element for me, I don’t tend to use it because for the most part I can replicate it using water, air, and solar properties. Sometimes I need to though, and so that’s why it became number 2 on the list of elements to take a look at.

To start with, fire is the element of passion and warmth, as well as, fire and burning. Meaning this can be used for weapons, protection, and assistance. Yes, it’s not just for burning people. Wild.

I personally have used fire in the past for speed, and to back things up with power. I’ve also seen fire used for comfy blankets, instant warming clothes, a lot of cold resistance gear, and some incinerators. Although my personal incinerator is now a web of decay energy stretched over some wards. Fancy.

Fire is also useful for boosting your physical abilities in the astral: faster, stronger, better at improvising. If fire works for you, it’s an amazing tool.

Go forth and find out about fire for yourself! It’s a spot of fun.

2. Stories

Stories is extremely powerful, if I’m being honest it’s the most powerful element I’ve dealt with. Stories can manipulate people and effect the world around you, and as a result the elemental version has the power to manipulate reality.

This is why you Should Not Use It, unless you are Very Experienced. Reality could be fun to manipulate but it’s not a good idea unless you know what you’re doing. It could backfire badly, especially for people not used to handling high-power elements. Stories itself is one of the more powerful elements to try and handle, nearly everyone believes in stories, and as a result it’s strong.

Stories can be used to effect reality, emotions, the programming of other elements, and the creation of new things.

3. Bonus Round: Flowers

I had enough time to cover the element of flowers, this isn’t a very powerful element, and it’s closely tied with wood and earth. Flowers is the gentler sibling of these elements, better being used for healing. It can effect moods, as well as provide a stable base for other elements.

Also, a more romantic idea, make a little bouquet of flowers with it for someone special.
