Elementalist

“Fireballs of unthinkable destruction… come from such a little girl” The Elementalists are the roots of all mages and the purest form of them all. Harnessing the powers of the elements of Nature, they can wipe out multiple enemies at once. The Elementalists take pride in being the purest of all mages, and those who have mastered all elements are capable of destruction beyond imagination. The Elementalist is a Mage who has a kinship with nature. She is able to control and manipulate elements of Fire, Ice, Light, Shadow, Earth and so on. She primarily resorts to long-range attacks, blanketing large areas with damage Awakening as an Archmage: For generations, the mysterious beings from the world of Pandemonium known as mages have been dedicated not only to the study and practice of magic, but also to discovering the answer to why magic exists in the first place. They have been driven to learn why such dangerously infinite power has been placed in such foolish and finite beings. You may think you know the answer, but I assure you that you do not. Mages have been seeking an answer for eternity, and could probably continue for an eternity more. However, legend has it that a chosen one will arrive and she will know, an Archmage who will come to not only understand the ultimate truth, but become that truth in physical form. Throughout the ages, many have tried to claim the title of Archmage, only to be thrust into a life of endless bloodshed and betrayals before being forgotten altogether by history. Most have ceased entirely efforts to become Archmages. However, this legend has been given new life now that young mages have been spilling into Arad from Pandemonium in the hopes of reviving their withered world. Will one of these young mages become the Archmage of legend, or will all face the gruesome fate that befell their predecessors? History waits in breathless anticipation. Awakening as an Overmind: When Elementalists cast spells, they sometimes fall into a serene state of mind. Although it only lasts a few seconds, it allows them to become all knowing and understand the nature of the universe. In this state of serenity, they can see beyond the dimensions of reality. However, the shortness of the events prevents them from putting together the wisdom they had gained. Elementalists call this state the "Transcendence." They believe that if they can maintain this state of "Transcendence," they will become all knowing and understand the secrets of magic and the elements. But this is not an easy task. Even the greatest Archmage "Void Ron," could only maintain a few seconds of "Transcendence." Although Elementalists believed that there is nothing impossible in this universe, maintaining "Transcendence" was a feat they considered impossible. It became widely accepted that this was a limit set by the gods to let humans know the greatness of gods. However, this belief was short lived as a skilled mage named Rayzin from Terracotta was able to maintain "Transcendence." This young mage at only 20 years old, was able to maintain "Transcendence" indefinitely. After becoming enlightened, Rayzin referred to herself as the "Overmind" which meant transcended being. However, she hid herself before those who sought her wisdom came looking for her. So nobody really knows what she saw or learned in this state of "Transcendence." Even at this time, many Elementalists are trying hard to become Overminds. But to this day, nobody has achieved the level of Rayzin. Awakening as a Neo: Elementalist: “For what do you wish to reach the end of the truth.” Razin’s question seemed to have caught what she’d never thought about. ‘For what’... Is it her hunger for knowledge to unveil the secret of the origin of mana and the elements? Is it her desire for power to go beyond the transcendent power and understand the order of all creations? As she remained still unable to give an answer, the first elemental master to experience ‘transcendence’ And the one who named it ‘Overmind’, Razin looked into the distance with “I too once wanted to reach the end of transcendent power.” Razin’s eyes sank with hazy gray as though she was reminiscing something. “I’ve only seen an edge of the infinite world of transcendence. But what I’ve seen through it was terribly realistic yet horribly unrealistic.” Her eyes, who was once a seeker of knowledge dreaming for prosperity of the Terracotta, now helplessly stared at the ground. Now she was just a shadow of the transcendent one wandering in frozen time. Her eyes seemed to reflect a completely void universe. “Perhaps…” As Razin blurred her words her sights moved back to her. “Maybe it’s wrong to reach for the end of the truth. Everything comes from the beginning, not the end afterall.” The cool wind passed by Razin and poured onto her. Her head felt like it was clearing up. “Elements and mana, no, even the great ‘Apostles’ and invisible microorganisms are all from the origin of this universe… I’ve taken a step away from that truth but maybe you’ll reach it.” A smile finally appears at her lifeless expression. “The beginning of the origin.”
