Should you have your fulcrum with you, it will begin to accumulate latent elemental energy within it as you cast spells from Elemancy. After casting two spells in a row from the same element, it will fully resonate with the element in question.

Once fully resonating with an element, some elemental spells with require it in order to be cast. Please see the AB help files in Elemancy to find out if it is a requirement to cast.

location, granting you access to certain abilities that require it. Not all abilities require you to expand your fulcrum, but more powerful abilities will.

In addition, when you expand it, the following will happen once after a delay: All enemies still in the same location will take a pulse of damage, and then become irratiated with the etherflux affliction. The type of damage dealt depends on your elemental resonance, otherwise it is magical damage.

Syntax:
Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}

Providing that you have your fulcrum with you, you can morph the makeup of an elemental phenomena that was cast by you. All it requires is that you strike the phenomena with a damaging spell that uses the element you wish it turn it into.

Using fire damage will turn it into a Blazewhirl. Using cold damage will turn it into a Glazeflow. Using electric damage will turn it into an Electrosphere.

Any states or conditions associated with the phenomena will be carried over should you transform it back into that form, such as the bonus damage originally absorbed by a Blazewhirl, and similiar mechanics.

Please see AB ELEMANCY <phenomena> for more information on the phenomena spells and what they do.

Note: {{{note}}}

Degradation Churn the spirit of your enemies
Syntax: FULCRUM DEGRADATION <ON/OFF>
Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Requires your fulcrum to be expanded.

This powerful ability will degrade the soul of your enemies when they leave the location of your fulcrum. This will cause them to take periodic spirit damage for a short while.

This effect can stack with itself if triggered multiple times by the same person.

Syntax: FULCRUM BRANDING <target> <EMBER/FROST/THUNDER>
Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}

Cast one of three brands upon your target, by utilising the stored elemental power held within your fulcrum. The brands you can choose from are the Emberbrand, Frostbrand, and the Thunderbrand, and each brand offers different effects.

Emberbrand (Fire): The Emberbrand will cause your fire spells to burn hotly. As such, each time you strike an opponent with the Emberbrand using fire damage from a spell in Elemancy, the heat emitted will cause them to become clumsy. If they are already clumsy, then they will become weary.

Frostbrand (Water): The chilling bite of the Frostbrand will periodically chill your opponent, applying one level of chill to them. Should they be frozen already, then it will give them hypothermia.

Thunderbrand (Air): The Thunderbrand crackles with electric force, interfering with their pill balance recovery by lengthening the duration before they can eat another. It will also cause Focusing to drain health equal to the initial mana cost on use.

Each brand can stack with each other, and will last a limited amount of time before fading on its own.

Note: {{{note}}}

Enrich Draw latent planar energies to empower your fulcrum
Syntax: FULCRUM ENRICH <FIRE/WATER/AIR> FULCRUM EMPTY

Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Requires your fulcrum to be expanded.

Using your fulcrum, form a rift in the spirit of those standing in the presense of your fulcrum. This rift will change the way in which a healing elixir will restore health, delaying the heal over time rather then immediately.

Keep in mind, this effect will also affect you.

Note: {{{note}}}

Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: This ability is passive.

Your mastery of planar forces it holds has embolded you with heighted skill, binding your fulcrum to you through your will. As such, you can now control your expanded fulcrum from a distance with little more worry than a thought.

A cube sigil placed in the same location as your fulcrum will interfere with your ability to command it remotely.

Note: {{{note}}}

magics to instantly bring forth a burst of elemental power related to that brand and consume it in the process. Ember will bring fire damage, frost will bring cold damage, and thunder will bring electric damage.

This ability requires equilibrium and balance to use, but does not consume either.

Note: {{{note}}}

Typhoon A glimpse of Air, creating a catastrophic storm
Syntax: FULCRUM TYPHOON
Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown: 30 seconds (on room)
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Requires your fulcrum to be expanded.

A planar glimpse of Air is a destructive force to behold. By pulling a glimpse of it through your fulcrum, you can unleash a terrible storm upon the location of your fulcrum. Everyone caught within the thunderous typhoon will find that their mana will be drained, stripped of three random defences, and the air will be left with a static charge.

Due to the powerful nature of this glimpse, there is a short delay before it can be fully opened after using this ability.

Note: {{{note}}}

Maelstrom A glimpse of Water, capable of drowning your victims
Syntax: FULCRUM MAELSTROM
Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown: 30 seconds (on room)
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Requires your fulcrum to be expanded.

By pulling forth a planar glimpse of Water through your fulcrum, this powerful effect will deluge your location and surroundings in a rush of rolling water that will carry away everyone around you in a random direction from your fulcrum.

Adventurers will be pushed in that chosen direction until there is nowhere left to go, potentially moving them to multiple locations, and the waves will also push anyone else standing upon the path. It will also flood every location affected by this spell with water.

Due to the powerful nature of this glimpse, there is a short delay before it can be fully opened after using this ability.

Note: {{{note}}}

Inferno A glimpse of Fire that incinerates foes
Syntax: FULCRUM INFERNO
Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown: 30 seconds (on room)
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Requires your fulcrum to be expanded.

There is no simplier way to incinerate your foes by simply bringing forth a planar glimpse of Fire through your fulcrum.

Once cast, your fulcrum will begin to release flames from the Plane of Fire five times, burning everyone in the same location as your fulcrum and adjacent to it. Each time it releases flames, the strength of the flames will slightly grow and become more powerful, and will spread embers in the affected locations.

Performing this ability will require your complete focus, as such, if you attempt any other action during its channel, the glimpse will lose its potence and come to an early end.

Note: {{{note}}}

Enrapture Send an affixed target beyond this realm
Syntax: FULCRUM ENRAPTURE <target>
Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: This powerful ability allows you to tether your fulcrum directly to a target, allowing

you to directly pull them to one of the elemental planes - where no Prime life may exist. Your intended victim must be prone, and you may perform no other actions while the fulcrum seeks to enrapture them.

Success will destroy your fulcrum in the process, however failure will only purge it of its resonance.

If your enemy is affected by the brand associated with the currently enriched elemental plane, the prone requirement is waived and the enrapture will be hastened.
