'''Elemancy''' is the art of manipulating Spirit, Fire, and Water, drawing modicums from the elemental planes and shaping them in order to achieve magical results. In its more basic forms, the [[Ascendril (class)|Ascendril]] employ the art to cast rays of light, summon wards of water, and ward off harm with a fiery veil; the trained Elemancer, however, wields a bevy of elemental brands, venomous frostspikes, and the dreaded holocaust orb, which brings either devastation or restoration depending upon the caster's whim.

        SEVER <FIRE/WATER/AIR/SPIRIT>
 
In order to harness the power of the elements, you must first open a channel to one of the four
elemental realms of Fire, Water, Air and Spirit. Once you have opened a channel to that realm, you
will be able to make repeated use of spells that require those elements. You can close your channel
to the elements at any time by severing them. There is no cost to keeping them active.

{{AB
|skillname = Focus
|syntax = CAST CREATE FOCUS
|description =        EMBED FOCUS IN <weapon>
 
Although the crystals extracted from the Master Crystal no longer appear to be suitable for
Crystalism, it has been found they make controlling the elements slightly easier. Excise a focus
from the Master Crystal while you are standing before it, and then embed it into either a staff,
dagger, or a sceptre.
 
Should you be wielding such an object containing a focus crystal, you will be able to command the
elements with greater ease. Your spells will no longer require both hands, only a single hand.
Additionally, parrying an attack will charge your focus crystal with magical energy, restoring a
portion of your mana instantly.
