Channel
Syntax:	CHANNELS
Description:	CHANNEL <FIRE/WATER/AIR/SPIRIT> 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.

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.

Firelash
Syntax:	CAST FIRELASH <target> <bodypart>
Description:	Draw forth a searing whip of magical flame and lash at your foe, causing moderate fire damage. You may specify a limb to target with this ability, causing a small amount of limb damage as well.

Water resonance: A layer of steam will cause your firelash to deal extra health damage.

Scorch
Syntax:	CAST SCORCH <target> <arms/legs>
Description:	Send an arcing wave of flame to strike high or low on your victim - crippling a random arm or leg. If already ablaze, your victim will find both arms or legs broken.

Air resonance: The blaze will scorch their lungs horribly, causing asthma in addition to any other effects.

Syntax:	CAST DIREFROST <target>

Each time they suffer from cold damage, the frost will grow - when it has grown five times, the direfrost will transform into a frostbrand. The frostbrand will continually chill an opponent in an attempt to freeze them. Should the victim become frozen from any source while under its effect, they will be encased in ice should they fail to cure their frozen status within one second.
