Description: Elementals are anthropomorphic personifications.  In other words, they are natural processes or elemental forces that have been given a form capable of interacting with the world.  The mage seeks out and makes contracts with these elemental beings.  Once a contract is made the mage can summon the elemental to aid them.

In order to make a contract with an elemental, the mage has to earn their token.  This can be done by performing a task for the elemental, proving the mage's worth to the elemental, or otherwise gaining their trust and respect.  In certain rare cases, a mage may so embody the characteristics that an elemental prizes that they may seek out said mage of their own accord and make a contract.  In any case, once an elemental consents to a contract with the mage, it grants a token to them that they must keep with them.  In order to summon the contracted elemental, the wizard must touch the item, focus on the elemental's image, and say its name.  If the elemental's token is ever lost, the mage loses the ability to summon it.

Unique Abilities:  

Ability 1:  +50% to physical/magical damage ❀ [At D rank, the amount you can passively buff is 50% - 10%, so the total amount should be 40%. Since you are buffing two separate stats, that must be split in half, so it'll be 20% buff to physical damage and 20% buff to spell damage.]

Downside:
Description: In order to summon this elemental, the mage touches the token she has bestowed on them (in Cuthbert's case it is a purple acorn) and says "Decida".  The token will glow and moments later a sapling will sprout from the ground at the caster's feet.  This tiny sapling will quickly grow into a towering tree standing a good 9 feet tall, which will then morph and shift its form, changing from that of a tree to that of a slender old woman.  Gnarled branches meld and and contort to become hands and feet.  The trunk splits to form legs and morphs into a willowy body.  The tree's leaves cascade down the back of a newly formed head like a full mane of hair.  Decida breaks a long branch off of her own body to use as a staff upon which she leans.  The newly formed face has no eyes or mouth per se, but there are recognizable features on the countenance of the elemental.  Her voice is quite definitely female, and obviously ancient.  She has a quiet, calm demeanor, kindly and reminiscent of a grandmother figure.

Description: In order to summon this elemental, the mage touches the token he has bestowed on them (in Cuthbert's case it is a small, red, hexagonal gem) and says "Vitrolus".  The token will glow and moments later the ground will crack and split at the caster's feet and Vitrolus will burst forth in a blaze of glory.  Vitrolus is a black fennec fox with glowing orange eyes, wisps of fire and smoke curling up from his large ears, and a magnificent flaming tail.  Vitrolus is a very prickly character and demands at all times to be addressed with respect.  He's a bit of a bully, and although it's impossible to tell his age, he acts very much like a petulant child most of the time.

Rank: D+

Downside:
Description: In order to summon this elemental, the mage touches the token she has bestowed on them (in Cuthbert's case it is a metal trinket shaped like a bolt of lightning) and says "Silu".  The token will glow and moments later clouds will form overhead.  A bolt of lightning will crash down to the earth next to the summoner and at the point of impact, Silu will appear.  She appears as a woman with blue-tinted skin and stormy gray eyes.  Her hair is a dark, almost blue-black and resembles roiling storm clouds that fall down her slender back.  She has an exotic accent, and even though she is friendly--even flirtatious--with most, everyone who interacts with her gets a distinct feeling of danger from her.

Summon Abilities

Name:  Gust of Wind
Rank: D+
0MP Cost: 30 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target
Damage: 60 HP
Range: 90 meters
Speed: 90 meters per second
Duration: 5 posts
Downside:
Description:  Silu creates a powerful blast of air that throws her opponent upward. The force of the air buffets and bludgeons the target and hurls them upward a number of feet.  After the spell ceases, the target falls down to the ground once again. ❀ [Concerning throwing the opponent upward, this is considered a Knockback. The rules read as such on the subject: "Knockback effects are not classed as effects, but rather the natural consequence of a spell, ability, or attack hitting a target. Still, however, knockbacks or other effects that change the position of a target in any way, knock them down, knock them upwards, etc., require OOC permission to be used on a target, as these directly move another player or character or force them into a situation where they have to move. In any given case, the target of a spell will always determine if they are knocked back, down, upwards, etc. by a spell, and if they are, how far they are knocked back." So if you intend to keep this part of the spell, you need to put a note that it requires OOC permission to be used on any target not of your own design.]

Spell Effect:  The character targeted by this spell is immobilized for one post while they are lifted up by the wind gust. ❀ [I would suggest rewording how the immobilization on this works since the opponent doesn't have to be knocked upwards if hit. Also, add that it can only immobilize for one post every other post and that this spell must hit again to become re-immobilized.]

Spell Effect:  The target of this spell takes a 5% burn on their HP.

Downside:
Description:  Silu calls down a vertical bolt of lightning that deals electricity damage. The bolt of lightning flashes down in a vertical stroke at whatever target point chosen within the spell’s range.  

Spell Effect:  Targets struck by the bolt of lightning take a 50% debuff to their speed.
