Power system:

A set of elements generated by the will of oneself connected to the earth and nature, an energy called Minu. Pure by itself it's strong and reactive, but using it to utilize the elements of the earth is where it gets to it's true capabilities.

Elements:

• Fire, control over the plasma of fire, able to conjure flames and manipulate them.

• Water, control over the fluid of water, able to create it, shape it and shoot it out in any way

• Frost, control over the lack of heat, freezing things and removing heat in order to attack.

• Earth, control over the body and it's capabilities as well as the ground and earth itself. Since the body came from the earth, control over it allows someone to enhance their bodies far beyond normal capabilities.

• Wind, control over the fluid over the air, creating gusts, storms and tornadoes

These elements can be combined together to create mixtures

- Fire + Water = Mist
- Fire + Wind = Precise Flame
- Fire + Earth = Magma
- Fire + Frost = Ghostflame
- Water + Wind = Hurricane
- Water + Frost = Ice
- Water + Earth = Mud
- Frost + Earth = Statue arts (Stillness to create durability)
- Frost + Wind = Freezing Winds
- Earth + Wind = Sand

Pure Minu is known as Holy Magic

Incantation requires spoken spells, which can be channeled through finger seals or grimoires, more raw energy

Sorceries require staffs and catalysts to work. More cultivated types of magic.

A person can only use two elements at once, and no more unless there is a very rare occaison they can use three


Premise:

You and your party (Band of the Fox) are in search for the legendary city of Archtamia, a hidden city which requires a long and arduous journey throughout consecrated snowfields and mountains. This city is told as a mere folktale, some believe in it, and some don't. The party's goal is to reach this place and discover it's mysteries. On this journey towards the city, your party stopped over in a small town in Paragladia. It was mid-winter, and the Winterfest was coming up. After a group vote, the party decided to stay the 2 weeks for the Winterfest, it was a nice break and one to be enjoyed.


Author's note:

Had to drink like fifty Stoneys (Elite ball drink) in order to finish this giant thing. Having work and a life plus this is hard to balance in this economy of jobless bot creators.
