ELEMENTS

Each class has a set of elemental strengths and weaknesses.

All the spells have an element type.

Spells you cast that are the same element type as one of your

elemental strengths are more succesful, stronger, and cost you

less in mana, you also have a natural resistance against spells

that you have elemental strength in.

However, the opposite is true for spells that have elements

that match to your elemental weaknesses.

The skill SCRIBE which lets you create scrolls of a particular

spell, will let you create ANY scroll of any spell that is the

same element as one of your elemental strengths.
