Transitions:	{{{transitions}}}
Attacks:	{{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	Your elemental is capable of comprehending complex orders, and this ability allows you to prepare such orders in advance, causing your ally to act as opportunity presents instead of requiring a direct command. When the elemental is ready to attack and has been ordered to fight, it will follow its list of enhancements in sequential order, using the first ability it is capable of carrying out. To take advantage of this, it is wise to order your enhancements in priority order, preferring abilities with conditions to be high on the list, and those with few or no conditions to be low priority. If the elemental is unable to use any enhancements, it will default to the Club ability. Elementals may also be given directives to act when a situation presents itself. However, any directive given beyond the first will slow down its attack speed slightly.

Earth (green ink): Every third hit, your selkachoar will deliver the loki venom to your opponent. Air (purple ink): An elemental imbued with air will receive no penalty to their attack speed for the first three reflexes they are trained to perform, and they gain an extra slot for their ingrain ability.

Cooldown:
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	Syntax: SYNTH INGRAIN <ability> [ability2] Your elemental's composition is now of such integrity that you can ingrain a single specific directive directly into their make-up. This directive will become innate to them with no penalty to attack speed, and will, in some cases, bolster its capabilities in that task. There is a significant cooldown upon changing this effect however, so make sure you choose wisely. Some of the bolstered effects include: ENCLOSE - Increases your own ability to dodge by 3%. COVER - Arrows will be reflected, chance to deflect increased. REPRISAL - Increases damage and balance loss on hit. GUARD - Increases resistance to all forms of damage. BRACE - Will proc 100% of the time. OCCLUDE - Chance increased and elemental also causes amnesia on hit. BALLAST - Attempts to move allies have a chance to fail. You do not need the directive to be in effect in order to gain the benefits. It will be enabled automatically regardless of your enhancement selections. An elemental can normally only have a single directive ingrained, unless it has been imbued with air via purple ink. Cooldown: 1 hour
