Bonus: Element-a-thon

— Wisdom’s Database activated. Error, error! Erm. Standby…

— Wisdom’s Intervention activated.

In magecraft, Users of a certain System can exchange their Mana in order to produce certain effects caused by the System. As Charlotte has acquired the Light Magic element and has been granted Magelink from her familiar, her ability to wield Magic and see Runes has extended beyond the original Forbidden Skill’s Spellpages. While more complex, the new Mage Link does allow for more offensive capabilities and is not limited to Spell Pages.

The downside to such a Skill is the cast time and the unpredictable nature of a Spell produced by the System. Charlotte must choose between using a quick cast time via Spell Pages or a more calculated approach in terms of channeling mana. As she studies these Runes that make up Mana, she shall find out the sinister truth about the System that governs Humans…

Having been exposed to multiple Elements to the point of immunity to their effects, Charlotte has been through a lot! Her Spider Queen title and associated Extra Skills allow these Elemental Immunity Passive Skills to pass on to her brood, the Spider Clan. This has proved to be incredibly unusual to the Humans, who are used to being able to burn Spiders alive. Nowadays, the Spiders are currently rising as a viable threat within the Forbidden Forest, but not high profile enough to raise the Sharra Kingdom’s attention.

Elements are made up of Mana, powered by Runes, an ontological language proposed by the System’s administrator. The reason why there are so many is unknown, as with the number of administrators out there. The most well known administrator is of course, the Goddess of Light, even if the Light Element is not strictly limited within her System as other Goddesses and Gods possess Light of their own. The elements range from Basic to Exotic tiers yet to be discovered.

— Discovered Basic Elements

Fire, Ice, Wind [Common] - In exchanging mana, individuals with this element produce Spells via supernatural support by the System they’re attached to. The common tag suggests that most humans belonging to the Goddess of Light’s Mage classes possess multiple magic attunements in this group, though Mage Classes themselves are uncommon.

Nature, Earth, Healing [Uncommon]: The next group are limited to certain classes, such as Druid and Cleric type Mage classes, though Druids are not strictly Mage classes. Of the Dungeon’s challengers, only one Druid has been discovered and one cleric has been seen by Charlotte.

Lightning, Water [Epic]: Of the Basic Elements, Lightning and Water are the most devastating and most difficult to wield. Lightning is quite dangerous to use and has immense firepower, while Water has huge Mana costs and is taxing to channel. These two elements are mostly used as a general last resort for emergencies.

— Discovered Exotic Elements: Holy Class

Light [Ancient] - Light is the most prevalent Element, however, it does not make it less powerful or less esoteric. The Light Element is responsible for Portals, incredibly high damaging spells and Skills, changing the body and even healing. The bubble runes are said to sooth the Soul, while oddly producing the loudest amount of noise whenever it is cast.

Darkness, Shadow [Ancient] - Darkness attacks seem to affect the mind and physical, causing degradation in whatever entity it is targeting in some form. This Element also tends to have a lot of Passive Skills and Debuff Attacks, making it more insidious. Instead of decimating an entire area, Darkness and Shadow attacks take their time claiming their victims piece by piece.

— Discovered Exotic Elements: Celestial Class

Divine [Origin] - An element that seems to Transcend the System itself or otherwise makes rules for the System and its creation. This Element’s Class has unknown abilities, but all are capable of erasing or changing parts of the System and whoever unfortunate enough to be struck by a Divine Attack. However, this is not always the case when a Divine being attacks another Divine being as seen in the historical records of the Hero’s last known whereabouts, in which his Divine infused strike was completely cancelled by an unknown Divine entity. In the Hero’s Battle with the Demon Queen he swiftly defeated her (Apologies Charlotte, but you got beaten easily! Ha!) - an event otherwise known as the Final Hour by the Humans. Charlotte has acquired something called a Divine Seed, although where on her person and its exact function are unknown.

Chaos [Origin] - An element that originates from the Celestial Branch, the space between Realms where the Stars grow. When observed by the Demon Queen Mara and her lovely advisor, Wisdom, they discovered and were exposed to the existence of the Stars and Realms above. The Chaos Element was inadvertently discovered first in the Demon Realm when reports of a strange lethal sickness was discovered after a Starfall, suggesting that a foreign System can also produce adverse effects while colliding with another System. When used offensively, it restructures its target’s very being from the ground up and often results in death. Since Charlotte was exposed to a being made out of Chaos, she became forever changed by it and also immune to its effects. Possessing the Space Stone also helps.

— Discovered Basic Elements: Body

Poison, Venomous [Rare] - An element utilized by various Monsters of the Human Realm. Poison and Venom cause various degrees of suffering over time, inflicted in various ways. A strange section of the Humans is known as the Explorer Ministry, who appear to be scholars pursuing the eldritch truth of the Monsters’ origins and behaviors. For if Humans learn where they come from and could eradicate their source, they could redirect their attention to the Stars once again…

Acid [Epic] - Acid is a potent agent of destruction to the flesh and sometimes even tougher materials. Monsters possessing this Element are usually automatically placed in B rank or above, due to the fact that any adventurer less than that rank do not possess gear or Skills to defend against such a devastating Element. The Spiders, however, do not care about the Human ranks.

Blood [Epic] - An element discovered by Charlotte in the Starfall’s dimension. Blood has its own damage type which can cause corrosion, sickness and disease to whoever is unfortunate to get hit by it. The Blood’s element also came from a lake within the Dimension, suggesting that whatever encasing the Starfall’s core is alive and is actually bleeding to death from the crash.
