Elements-

Base:

Acid- Caliph of Corrosion
Debuffs, Negative status effects, Piercing, Stacking negative effects. Dissolves things, erodes over time, and reduces the power of other elements. It synergizes with Alchemy, Biomancy, and anything involving poison. It bolsters Chemistry sub-specs of Hypertech, and is useful for empowering Oozes and Insects. It is the most able to supplant and replace other elements of the base elements.

Air- Wind Duke
Agility, Dodge, Synergies with Law. Permits flight and breath where no breath would otherwise be found. It allows freedom of movement and enhances personal freedom while at the same time bolstering those who adhere to a code of nobility or law. It is the element that is 'above' things and allows its users to ignore things 'beneath' them, whether physically or socially. Those aligned with air are harder to mar or sully than their ground-bound companions.

Darkness- Ebon Chancellor
Spirit, Debuffs. Hides and obscures. It links to drain, consumption of other things for power, and has ties to the lower planes. It is not, however, evil in and of itself. It can nuture as well as harm, and can keep negative consequences from holding things down (undeath to surmount death, becoming a being of poison to surmount being poisoned, etc). It works best when either subtle or overwhelming - small amounts in obvious focus are able to be removed most easily.

Earth- Mountain King
Constitution, Resilience, Defense. Solid and sturdy. It resists change. It forms the front line while keeping its allies secure and hidden behind it. It is good at seeking and building solid - if uninteresting and non-unique - treasure. It generates resources through both plant life and minerals and serves as the unintrusive bedrock of whatever area it is in.

Electrical- Thunder Czar
Turn-order-determining stat totals, Offense. Sudden and potent, but able to also provide lasting power. In offense it focuses on speed and damage spikes, whereas in defense is provides constant power. It is friendly towards air and energy, while having a love-hate relationship with Technology (powering it but also most able to damage it). It can be captured and stored to power other powers or act as an MP-substitute.

Energy- Countess of Power
Dealing Damage, MP, Powering effects. Empowering when within you and oppressive when around you. It is the heat of summer, the sizz of a laser, and the core of a star. It empowers life easily, but is reluctant to create new life wholesale. It synergizes with auras, both offensive and defensive, and it can help to turn an aura into a force-field bubble that prevents ingress of opposing forces. It assists with regeneration, but once it itself is removed, can leave the user more tired and weak than they were before they had it in the first place.

Fire- Blazing Sultan
Strength, Critical, Attack bonuses. Active and offensive, but also has a side that can cauterize and heal. It is the most damaging in a broad sense of the base elements, but it tends to fail when used as a defense on its own. Its flickering and transitory nature makes it more shapable through desire and emotion than other elements, lending it - behind magic - to be the second best base element to use wish-type magic with. It rouses beings to action, foments revolution, and makes those around it more hot-blooded - it also promotes truth, straightforwardness, and risk-taking.

Hope- Eternal Champion
Spirit, Positive status effects, Healing, Recovery from status effects. Is in some ways the most miraculous of the base elements, but in others it is the least reliable. It can make possibilities where there weren't any, and it can cause resurgences of power when defeat seems immanent. At the same time, it is the most subject to high and low rolls - a good roll can bring about great things, but with a poor roll, the hope just doesn't materialize. It is cooperative, supportive, and focused on positive status effects.

Ice- Snow Queen
Stat Damage, Reducing enemy turn-order. An element of stasis, preservation, and bitterly vast environmental effects. Things become lost in it until they accept it and become part of the landscape or it overwhelms them. It offers a pretty exterior with the potential to turn tumultuous and violent. It can accentuate splendor and bring temptation, but the rewards it grants are not lasting when taken outside its domain. It is the element of endings, but also of eternal unchanging twilight. It is distant from other things and harder to merge with them than other elements without changing them to be more like it.

Light- Radiant Heirophant
Awestruck, AOE Heals and Smiting, Anti-Darkness effects, Boosts to Divine Magic and Healer Magic, Synergies with Solar Beings, Formerly (and now once again) a base element. May still contain abilities that can turn it into a base element temporarily. Skilled at radiating effects outward, but without distinction regarding target. It illuminates, but reveals the hidden to all instead of a select few. It bolsters and heals, but burns things incompatible with its energy when spread. It is often easier to create a secondary effect to shield things from light than it is to make the element itself more discerning in its targeting. It bestows titles and high position upon those who use it, and, alongside Acid, is one of the two base elements most easily able to link to a divine patron.

Magic- Arcane Vizier
Magical Attacks, MP, MIN, SPI, Spells. An element of great potential and little direct substance. It brings forth reservoirs of power and expands possiblities, but requires other elements, spells, or items to be focused into concrete results. Alone, it is nebulous, but it is capable of merging with nearly anything arcane to increase effect. Physical and technological things interface most poorly with it, but even then, it holds the power to bolster them. It is a hard element to fully understand, but attempts at doing so often uncover other knowledge that assists in additional situations.

Metal- Archsmith of Metal
Boosting both offense and Defense, Golem/Robot/Clockwork/Machine pets and summons, Crafting items, Changing Hammers from destructive-themed weapons to creative-themed weapons that still pack offensive punch

Moon- Lunar Trickster
Status Infliction, Adding new text to status effects, Changing how opponents effected you. Opposes Truth. The element of deceit, wonder, performance, and hidden poison. It hides things in mirages and illusions, amplifies deception, and injects hidden traits into things. It boosts negative status effects and makes situations and effects harder to deal with. It relies upon extravagent spectacle, misdirection, performance, ritual, and festival to bring about its full power, with how you do things being as important as what you attempt to do - though correlations between the two are often entirely non-obvious, for example an acrobatic firework routine to poison a man's drink and induce madness. Moon is formal yet jovial, willing to give generously to those who share in its mirth. It does not always lie, it merely holds the potential to.

Physical- Kinetic Emperor
Melee Attacks, HP, Ignoring buffs to enemy Dodge. The most straightforward of the elements. It rewards hard work, repetition, and training. It focuses on the physical stats more than the mental ones, but when it does delve towards the mental, it prefers straightforward expression of mental traits to the use of tricks and traps. It is burly and powerful, but lacks breadth or the ability to adapt to unusual confrontations. It adds force to things more easily than most other elements and in greater quantities, but in the process makes the resultant product more easily resistable. Boosts come with effort, but can be made lasting if the effort is repeated.

Psychic- Mind Lord
Mind, MP, Synergies with Mentalist, Avoiding Resistances, Ignoring buffs to enemy Dodge, Scanning. The element of the wise, cunning, and well-prepared, but also the aloof and domineering. It acts subtly, but with great force. It accomplishes things other elements can, but through its own vectors, while retaining a primacy on control. It offers improved control of self through mental reenforcement, improved control of others through the bending of minds and puppeteering of bodies, and improved control of events through predictions, knowledge, and constant awareness. It is hard to blind, but keeps its opponents in the dark, working through methods that are hard to detect. It can pre-program effects, relying on contingencies and timing for optimal effect.

Technology- Heir to the Future
Ranged Attacks, Robots/Clockworks/Machines/Mechs/Vehicles/Vessels/Guns/Assault Matrixes/Gadgets. An element that connects to - and improves - other, more tangible things. Specifically, it bolsters entities and items, but with a focus on categories therein that are more 'primed' to be amplified by it. It creates new things while relying on already established synergies, being better and making improved versions of things it works well with than linking up with things that are not predisposed to accept it. Once established, it can mass produce things and replicate effects, allowing less-skilled users to replicate, maintain, and use effects set up by the more-individually-talented. It works best with the scientific, futuristic, and new, though exceptions exist.

Truth- Analyst of the Absolute
Boosts divination, foils illusion, and weakens Mystery. It makes things concrete, known, and immutable. It bolsters mind and hampers wishes and change. Opposed by Moon, and effective against Illusion.

War- Warmaster
Boosted offense, Causing allies to deal more Damage, Creating and controlling units, Making itself a base element, Formerly a base element prior to the First Ascension, and is again following the Crisis Across Infinite Nexii Megaquest. Opposes Hope. A vicious element focused on offense. It leads with its best, striking heavily and pushing outwards while leaving its interior filled with token, mass-produced defenses below its maximum capability. It synergizes with nearly any means of attack, enhancing range, power, and the lasting nature of wounds. It easily works with other elements of its wielder, but bristles when forced to cooperate with things outside of its wielder's field of knowledge. It seeks to better itself, but does so only in proportion to the opposition provided, ceasting to care for improvement when the last enemy is fallen or soundly bested.

Water- Ocean Prince
Mind, To Hit, Healing. An element that does not easily run itself dry. Efforts undertaken multiple times using the power of water lose power at a slower rate than they would when other elements are used, making it a good choice for long-distance travel, the repeated quashing of attacks by many weaker foes, or repeated healing as a dungeon is explored. While water lacks the precise force of other elements, yielding more easily than is typical, it is able to balloon outwards and engulf wider spaces more easily. It also has a tendency to pool and make effects last longer than they otherwise might in areas.

Wood- Lord of Trees
Synergies with Botanist/Plants, Slowly-increasing buffs


Tier 0 Nonbase:

Corruption- Vile One [DESTROYED]
Wow, much corruption, so element, very hazard (An appropriate description, but I'll tack on: Avoiding restrictions to increasing your power, Gaining lots of power quickly, Corrupting others, Losing control of yourself to the element, Hideous penalties if you aren't the element Corruption)

Junk (2)- No class
Weak element overall, few abilities; generally found on items that do nothing

Melted- <Shared in Mastermind>
Removing text from things

Null- Hollow Man
Errors, Ignoring effects, Initially places large numbers of penalties on those who learn it that later turn into bonuses

Regret- Exchequer of Loss [REVIVED]
Turning opponents' powers and actions against them, Creating antagonistic replicas, Mirroring and twisting enemy power, <POTENTIALLY NOW TIED TO TSAYIKK>

Turpitude- Antifoundational Metaphysicist [REVIVED]
Basically is Corruption + small elements of Regret. It doesn't have much unique to its name and was just Dryse messing with the element system to create her own Corruption variant before Iepterro decided it wasn't a good idea. <POTENTIALLY NOW TIED TO TSAYIKK>


Tier 0 Imaginary:

The Bad Impression- <Inside Elemental Researcher, for now>
An element that concerns coming off as absolutely terrible.


Tier 1 Nonbase:

Aether- Aetheric Voyager
Movement between battlespaces, Converting your own Dodge value into effects, Ignoring enemy protections

Astral- Cosmic Ruler
Deals with deep space, planets, stars, and other in-space things. Also deals with forming unformed dimensions into habitable planes and creating fortresses in space, as well as sticking objects together / in orbit of each other / gathering things. Tied to Astromancer and Keeper of the Stars.

Atomic- Thermonuclear Disciple
Poison: Irradiated, High-damage assaults with high cost to use, Negative effects that get progressively worse

Azoth- Divine Philosopher
Healing, Creation of items, Removal/Piercing of Resistances/Immunities, MIN/SPI buffs, Synergy with Alchemy

Basic- Commoner
Faking being a base element, Low stat boosts and abilities that make it a generally bad class

Beast- Wild One
Tied to Beastmaster, Bonuses based on terrain, Physical attack boosts. Vicious, natural, and hard to tame. It links members of packs together and grows animals and monsters into stronger forms as they become more successful in their roles. It resists civilization, plays poorly with non-Druidic, non-Beast items - particularly manufactured ones - and enhances natural abilities. It resists mind control, but allows leadership through superior skill or wisdom. It is both predator and prey and prefers the physical to the esoteric, but is able to be manipulated to create exotic types of venom. Areas infused with Beast mana produce more enemies more frequently, but less treasure and civilian-types. Works well with Pelts and Fist Weapons (taking the form of claws rather than fists). Beast also improves hunting. While it favors the beast, it is willing to grant power to the hunter who fights beasts on their own terms rather than staying entirely apart from them. It respects those who confront nature and scorns those who stay back in civilization's safe halls.

Beauty- Artist of Dawn
Charm, Aura-based buffs, Effects based on possessor's presence, Effects upon being scanned, Resistance to losing powers

Blood- Count of Blood
Tied to Hemotheurge, HP Drain, Wounded: Bleeding. Transfers life and power between beings and sacrifices life, whether that of its wielder or that of others, for power. It grants vectors to invade the body, amplifies wounds, and exploits damage in individuals to gain knowledge about them. It bridges the divide between life and unlife, trading one for the other, and helps undead beings regenerate while helping non-undead resist draining effects. It is good at being stored up and then unleashed in a wide torrent and can be used to hide aspects of an individual until a time of danger. Vampirism and blood sacrifice are strong themes.

Candy- Princess of Sweets
Adding boosts to Food, Positive status effects and buffs, Giving opponents buffs to gain temporary control of them

Chemical- Chemist
Chemical is a T1 nonbase element. It is highly linked to Acid, Technology, and Hypertech. It works as an alternative element to Acid, but with an active anti-magic direction to it - it stabilizes worlds into a tech/super-science based paradigm and can be used to make Alchemy less 'magical'.

Civilization- Builder of Nations
Creates, manages, and orders cities and nations. It places areas under geographic claim and gives its wielders a mandate to control them. It organizes resources, manages supply lines, conducts trade, and bolsters order. It supports conquest and expansion while also boosting the ability to retrench defenses and control specific areas. It recognizes borders, shapes cultures, and gives knowledge of laws and customs. It also synergizes with Large Structures, Warlord, and General, though it twists Warlord to lose its barbaric aspects

Color- Chromatic Conductor
Element swap, Sub-groups of effects based on elements/colors, Offensive element-changing

Commerce- World Merchant
Trading items, Bonuses to traded items, Gold and inventory manipulation, Forcing opponents to give you things, Channeling values between different people, Buying items mid-thread

Crystal (2)- Faceted Marquessa
Synergies with Earth and with Crystal accessories, Synergies with Diplomat. An element of beauty and sturdiness. It creates elaborate, beneficial effects and sculpts fortresses, but contrary to their ornamentation and focus on aesthetic design, they are diamond-hard and offer great resistance to being broken. It holds power within itself, allowing for additional power reservoirs, and it dips into a variety of petrification sub-status effects - as well as beneficial self-petrification.

Dopple- Mime Don
Copying actions, Copying buffs/debuffs, Copying effects, Counters

Draco- <Shared in Dragon Lord>
Dragons. An element that empowers dragons and gives them a means of dealing hard-to-resist-just-due-to-rarity damage. It is an overall narrow element that doesn't do much and is hard to expand.

Essence- Balanced Medium
A vital force, similar to life, but more spiritual and less concerned with nature. It bolsters Spirits, Magic, and Ki. It unifies life with magic, assists in channeling, and allows its wielder better ability to target the mana patterns of beings. With proper skill, it allows for manipulation of the spirit layer of beings, and, eventually, their mana patterns' elements. It also assists with enchanting items, linking them to people, and attaching bonds between things. Something infused with essence is resurgent, growing back its losses more easily and compensating for damage to one area with strength in another, while at the same time repairing the first.

Faith- Witness of the Divine
Worshipper benefit boosts, Positive Status Effects, Resistance to effects that subvert worshipper bonuses, Resistance to Charm/Confusion while worshipping a deity, Synergy with Divine Magic

Fury- Unbowed Berserker
Boosted offense at the expense of defense, backlash effects against things that try to control your actions, High damage

Glitz- Megacelebrity
Exchanging Fame for effects, Generating fake temporary Fame and using that to power abilities, Boosts based on the number of allies and enemies you have

Glory- Living Legend
Bonuses versus mooks, Heroic action, Become a memetic badass

Grandeur- Most August and Baroque Grand-Marquis of Exquisite Provenance
Making your stuff better, Making places (zones, terrains, phantom terrains, not so much summons) you create better at the time of their creation. Grandeur is an element that increases the value, particularly the apparent value, of things. It is good for making things that are vast, impressive, highly expensive, hard-to-replicate, and overaggressively weird-niche-focused - stuff it makes on its own tends to suffer either from oblique overspecialization or being fancy-but-not-actually-good-at-anything. It is pretty good at augmenting stuff, though not as widely or as well as wonder. It is best when boosting things that already fit its aesthetic themes, synergizes well with Glory and Nobility, and is good at boosting subspace architecture (and adding frustrating elite encounters to dungeons).
It's also really connected to Lili. This means that boosting it may in some corner cases boost her, and it ties well to whatever powers she specs in (at least to a degree) - so it works better than you might think with rune magic / golems / summons / covering buildings in elaborate daemon runes, with mystery (why is this so fancy and what does it do - oh gosh it must have secret super macguffin powers), with mail (fancy postage does not get intercepted - the consequences are too fearsome), and self-cloning (but fancier!)

Illusion- Unreality Coordinator
Bonuses when not scanned, bonuses against being scanned, Creating fake items and entities that are easily-producible but vanish when scanned

Ki- Enlightened Sensei
Using Spirit for ranged attacks, Boosting STR/AGI/CON using MIN/SPI, Power boosts that require charge-up, Synergy with Monk

Marsh- Hermit of Reeds and Lanterns
Terrain-based bonuses, Stalling regeneration. An element that hides within itself, forcing those who attack it into a progressively worsening quagmire. It passively makes itself hard to hit or notably effect, and then once triggered, begins to pile on negative effects on enemies. It is an element that lends itself to places of sunrise, and, particularly, sunset - it freezes itself into specific moments while unleashing hidden torrents of insects and ooze to play support to its negative status effects and debuffs that increase in complexity as they stack. Meanwhile, it fills itself with life, blossoming from the murk, turning negative effects placed upon it into a base matter, a type of metaphysical sediment that it then uses to build itself up, bring forth new summons, and empower its effects. It manipulates the environment, makes other things dependent on it, and commands both symbiosis and parasitism. It enhances herbalism and offers rare spell components and remedies, as well as setting the stage for more powerful ritual magic by its mere prolonged presence.

Memory- Resonant Historian
Accessing states of things from earlier rounds, Resurrection, Bringing back lost buffs / cured debuffs, Resummoning unsummoned or killed summons, Undoing things, Equipping extra spells, Boosting magic, Accessing defunct classes and their powers

Mystic- Esoteric Wiseman
Super magic, Blurring the lines between spell schools, Ignoring Resistances and Immunities, MIN and SPI boosting, Magical Attack boosting, Adding effects to spells

Nature- Mother of Worlds
Synergies with Druid, Terrain effects, Animals/Aerials/Aquatics/Cthonians

Nobility- Noble
Giving allies actions, bonuses to allies, Charm, Controlling and boosting the actions of others, Preventing inferior people from acting, Controlling units, Synergies with Wealth

Order- Concordant Ordinator
Less powerful versions of High Judge powers

Phantom- Geistly Legate
Bypassing defenses if not scanned, Not triggering on-entry-to-battle effects

Pleasure- Hedonist
Charm, Sharing positive status effects, Buffs that require repeated re-application, Temporary relief from negative status effects, Drain, Bonuses from Food and Drink

Sonic- Noise Master
Undodgeable attacks, Synergies with Bard, Breaking items, Acting quickly, AOE attacks

Speed- No current class
Boosting turn-order, Acting first

Steam- Grease Monkey
Machines, Clockworks, Substituting itself for Technology. Steam works like Technology in many ways, but synergizes better with Clockworks than with robots. Scientist is closely tied to it, but in ways that merge it with Artificer, Alchemist, or Thief. On one hand, it is good for making complex, collapsable devices and synergizes well with Thief/Assassin/Ninja (with Ninja being a rarer, but no less effective, match) - steam doesn't just provide tech, it also cloaks it in misty veils and has a 'surprise' element to it. It is an element that becomes more refined and exquisite when near nobility, grandeur, or the like, but that sinks into disreputible territory when near darkness and less well-off places. It mixes air and fire, working with both and granting clockworks the power of either. Electrical is added too for mad scientists. It allows for faster repair than standard technology, but keeps to a more solidly victorian aesthetic and can't do quite as many far-future tricks. There's artifice-gadgetry subtrees, steam-tech spy-assassin / secret agent / criminal subtrees, scientist-noble subtrees with elegant clockwork replacement bodies, and repair-and-temp-boost subtrees.

Tacky- Flamingo Disco Legend Man
Weird effects based on having certain Clothing equipped, Negative effects based on your simple presence

Toxin- Archpoisoner of 1,000 Venoms
Poison, Venom, Damage-over-time, Stat Damage, Weapon Coating accessories, Synergies with Acid

Void- Unbound Guru
Super Elementalist, Ignoring effects, Abilities triggered by Meditation

Warding- Ward Crafter
Defense, Resistances and Immunities, Reflection, Synergies with Abjurer, Blocking entities into battlespaces, Blocking summons

Wealth- Coinlord
$$$, GP-toss style attacks, Bonuses to expensive gear, Defense against Gold Damage

Whimsy- Smiling Drifter
Ignoring negative effects, Making negative effects expire over time, Movement between battlespaces and rows that ignores restrictions


Tier 1 Imaginary:

Animae- <In Elemental Researcher, Subtree Classname: Vital Artisan>
It grants life to the lifeless, makes the form of matter protean and mutable, and governs the creation, application, and destruction of motion. Paralysis spec / alt-effect manipulation, haste/slow, action delays, removes restrictions from Transmutation (synergizing with it), summons Elementals and Golems.

Anti-Bob- <In Elemental Researcher>
Bonuses against targets named Bob, Generally a bad element

Bill's Swords- <In Elemental Researcher>
Specific Sword weapons, Generally a bad element

Business- <In Elemental Researcher>
Business is a T1 Imaginary element. It is the sort of element that produces men in suits who go to work at the business factory. It produces positive results and money from typing on computers, filing complicated reports, and faxing things with the mechanisms of said success being obtuse and powered solely by business-y actions. Acting confusingly professional offers boons, and the more money its wielders gain, the larger in size they become. The larger in size they are, the less likely their actions are to fail. It synergizes well with Wealth, Commerce, Clothes, and Cigars.

Confusion (2)- <In Elemental Researcher>
Confusion (2) is a T1 Imaginary element. It messes with scanning and gives its possessor benefits for things in battle that haven't been scanned successfully. It also focuses on the Confusion status effect (but sometimes lets its focus be switched to a different minor negative one, potentially giving it confusion effects in addition to its own) and has some abilities that exist just to make things more bizarre and/or confusing.

Cute Pets- <In Elemental Researcher, Subtree Classname: Wondergroomer>
Boosting the Charm abilities of pets, Boosting Unusually Weak pets

Destruck- <In Elemental Researcher>
Destruck is a T1 Imaginary element. It is destructive, but faulty, with may things related to it having high attack power, but a chance of outright (potentially comedic) failure.

Election- <In Elemental Researcher>
Election is a T1 Imaginary element. It sets up votes to determine the results of things, synergizing with summon swarms that pile on numbers of voters by default, but having some abilities in there to stack the votes in various ways or limit who/what can vote.

Gold (2)- <In Elemental Researcher>
Gold (2) is a T1 Imaginary element. It creates structure from money and allows things to create or count as large amounts of Temporary money. It can spend money to offer buffs and sets up effects using money that produce constructs over time. It can also turn people into money temporarily, including as a reflexive dodge attempt. It synergizes well with Earth, Metal, Golems, Wealth, and Dread Banking.

Happy Erosion- <In Elemental Researcher>
Drain, reducing enemies' stats and values, granting positive effects on the user for inflicting debuffs and reducing enemy stats and values

Laundary- <In Elemental Researcher>
Clothes, Generally a bad element

Magisparkly- <In Elemental Researcher>
Magical is becoming Magisparkly, which is a T1 Imaginary element. It is made of sparkles, unicorns, and fairy princesses. It is similar to Magic, but weaker and with a tendency towards refusing to be lethal.

Metaphorical- <In Elemental Researcher>
Metaphorical is a T1 Imaginary element. It is swift as the coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon - with all the strength of a raging fire, mysterious as the dark side of the moon. At least it can be, when drawing upon the power of the right sources - it works similarly to Dopple, but does not rely so much on physically-present things to copy as it does built-up internal associations and conceptual relationships to be drawn upon. It synergizes with Quills, Dopple, Shapeshifters, and Conceptuals.

Negative-Reality-Demonic- <In Elemental Researcher>
Negative-Reality-Demonic is a T1 Imaginary element. It inverts reality with malice, creating a dark, demonic mirror to all that it is exposed to. Its possessors can exist on the flip-sides of otherwise-innocent objects and switch what is on the 'frontside' and 'backside' of areas. It creates facsimiles of its victims and illuminates the world with neon shades of red and black. For all its malice, it is the inverse of demon magic in terms of combat specialties, being aberrantly good at healing, support, and defense (though almost always with a cruel twist towards non-allies). Defensively, it is particularly good at counter-magic and opposing actions with their opposites to negate them. It synergizes well with Disguises, Demons, Dopple, and Spatial.

Next Starlight- <In Elemental Researcher>
Next Starlight is a T1 Imaginary element. It is a fairly weak and overly-specialized Imaginary Element that focuses on promises, portents, and prophecies, setting them when under certain groups of Empowered Constellations, Chronogeomantic Zones, and Zones/Terrains/Phantom Terrains, then triggering them when different combinations or instances of those things appear. It can provide decent effect amplification when it triggers, but generally isn't worth the specific investment unless you need a particularly obscure boost type for some reason (as opposed to just mixing Geomancer/Diviner/Ritualist/Destiny Weaver).

Not Bees- <In Elemental Researcher, Subtree Classname: Not-Beekeper>
Making things stop being bees, Generally a bad element

Rebuttal- <In Elemental Researcher>
Rebuttal is a T1 Imaginary element. It focuses on counters, preemptive counters, action prevention, and contingency effects. It is good for issuing an OBJECTION and pairs well with Litigamancy.

STEVE's Version of Law - <In Elemental Researcher>
Pretending to be Law, Making actual Law not count, Placing arbitrary and easy-to-avoid restrictions on things, Bonuses if you're Steve

Surreality- <In Elemental Researcher>
Weird and often situational effects, alternate battle systems

Swimmerce- <In Elemental Researcher>
Swimmerce is a T1 Imaginary element. It connects commerce with water, trading items when people switch rows while in zones of water, heals gold damage when its possessor acts while in a zone of water, and converts HP damage attacks into Gold Drain attacks while in water. It also converts Drowning status effects into either damaging gold or makes them positive status effects that provide money instead of hurting their possessor. It includes minor fitness improvements and swim-stroke-techniques.

Vulgar- <In Elemental Researcher>
Shittons of relentless offense, Applying Strength to fucking everything

Waterial- <In Elemental Researcher>
Waterial is a localized, failed element in the vein of Laundary, Not Bees, and Bill's Swords. It is T1 and has no class, but is potentially gaining power in Seirei. It is the element of things that look solid, but are actually liquid, revealing their secret moistness when touched. Waterial beings are able to exist between solid and liquid states, to make things moist, to build constructs out of liquids and have them keep their shapes and to convert things into liquids. It synergizes well with Water and Illusion.

Weird- <In Elemental Researcher>
Weird and often situational effects

Yumminess- <In Elemental Researcher>
Boosting Food and Drink, Generally a bad element


Tier 1 Lower:

Lower Elements are inherently corrupt to an extent (though people can use them in more positive ways), tied to Tsayikk, and tend to drag other stuff down to their general state. They have different metaphysical properties than non-lower elements. They have easier integration with some abstandard stats.

Addiction- Necessarian
Setting up conditions that provide (generally decreasing-over-time) bonuses if met and penalties if not met on a regular basis. Connected to Tsayikk.

Agony- Torment Master
Pain, Harming yourself to gain power boosts, Unhealable/recurrent damage

Blight- Witherer of Realms
It is hostile to Geomantic effects and most non-Blight Elementals, focusing on rooting itself in places, twisting them, and spreading outwards. It feeds into the SAN/INF/RES Tsayikk element paradigm and pairs well with Blight Magic.

Decay- Eroded Idol
Increasingly-dangerous-over-time debuffs, Stat Damage, Reduction of Defense, Buff removal, Prevention of summoning, SAN/INF/RES alt-stat synergy.

Dust- Apostle of Loss
Causes things to collapse and remain collapsed while making its wielder harder to target in-total. It creates copies out of dust, disconnects bodily and spiritual systems from one another so that what effects one cannot effect others. It lets wielders turn into clouds that bring about delaterious effects. Once it gets inside something, it is hard to remove and begins to degrade it over time, hiding in crevases - whether they be in body, memory, moral fortitude, or mana pattern. It takes its time in bringing about devastation, but brings with it inevitability and a difficulty to course-correct, hiding itself from divination through seeming insignificance. It bridges with Tsayikk elements and effects with Devastation, Time, Earth, and Air. SAN/INF/RES alt-stat synergy.

Flesh- Flesh Sculptor
Buffs and Debuffs, Extra HP, Obtaining constant effects from entities on the enemy list, Polymorphing, Negative status effects, Defense reduction, Synergy with Transmuter, SAN/INF/RES alt-stat synergy

Hunger- Feasting Fuhrer
Dealing drain, amplifying consumables (particularly Food and Drink), taking things from other entities and consuming them to heal/regenerate/buff yourself/power effects, stripping effects from other entities and triggering bonuses for succeeding in doing so, mass-removing lower-Level entities from battle to regenerate, draining powers from defeated enemies for temporary lengths of time

Malice- Malice Entity
Demon (2) is becoming Malice and is becoming a T1 nonbase element. Its class acts more like an entity subtype class than an element subtype class. It is more sentient than most elements, but not hive-minded like Corruption. It feeds off of negative emotions, evil acts, and villainous forces/monsters triumphing. As it builds, it twists minds first and bodies second before budding off and forming monsters, undead, evil spirits, and evil planar beings (leaving its former host(s) less corrupt afterwards, though). Large collections of Malice can bud off into Malice Entities (which possess the class and ability to wield/create/direct/infuse Malice) - Malice Entities born in this manner have a greater-than-average chance of being unique if not near some other unique Malice Entity.

Good- Hero
High-value stat boosts, Synergies with Celestials/Angels/Devas/Holy Ones. Benevolent and helpful. It focuses more on amplifying other effects than having core themes of its own, but it has a number of sub-trees (which basically all require investment in other classes to get in). Support healing, upper-planar-being amplification/summoning, and smite evil type effects are among the larger sub-trees.

Knowledge- Numinous Archivist
Scanning things, MIN-based stuff, Extra MP pools, Casting spells you don't actually have, Manipulating what counts as in-stock/fightable-for-drops (with notable restrictions still in play; don't go into this expecting it'll open up the more broken stuff)

Life- Genesis Architect

Stasis- Keeper of Forever
An unchanging force. It is primarily defensive, but it can also be used to trap and ensnare. Major defensive boosts, reversion of condition to prior states, and resistance to change are its main themes. It can also cause events to become locked in repeating loops, prevent XP gain, prevent equipment changes, stop the acquisition of knowledge, cease aging, halt disease progression, prevent erosion, and/or set people's minds into rigid patterns. It fights against chaos and rebellion, is enemy to Flux, and supports both Abjuration and Binding.

Time- Temporal Primarch
Turn-Order, Haste/Slow effects, Undoing effects, Fatigued: Elderly, AGI Damage, Changing round order or when things count as having occurred, Delaying effects, Repeating effects

Toon- Wacky Comedian
Goofy and deceptively powerful. It gives you toonforce, basically. Get injured and spring back up. Have the opponent hide from you, only to appear from his closet like Droopy Dog. Enhance scrying by having your eyeballs extend from their sockets. Drop anvils on people's heads. Paint tunnels on mountainsides and control whether people can pass through them, run into the mountain, or get hit by a sudden train. Distort the body, become 2D, enter a TV show or comic. Roll yourself into a ball and bounce around. Become a chibi and gain evasion boosts and proficiency with hammers. Its power is magnified when used with humor and irony. It is more defensive than offensive, but can be taken in a variety of directions. It is strong against conventional forces, ignoring most science and Hypertech entirely, but is aggressively weak to Alchemy (which makes it dissolve) and Reality Auditing (which asserts authorial control).

Treasure- Relic Keeper
Improving items, bonding with items, materializing items, gaining/manipulating the text of opponents' items, Wielding items in unusual ways

Will- Paragon of Resolve
Manifest MIN/SPI to resist/throw-off negative effects, Use MIN/SPI to break through opposing defenses, Group-coordination, Resistance to Charm/Confusion/mind-affecting

Tier 2 Imaginary:

Double Darkness- <In Elemental Researcher, for now>
Double Darkness is a T2 Imaginary element. It is Darkness, but more so, blinding even non-traditional senses and blocking out darkvision. It focuses on non-ignorable To Hit penalties, amplifying Darkness, being better than Darkness, and being unusually hard to Resist.

Innovation- <In Elemental Researcher>
Bonuses to items you create, Lower-tier versions of some Infinity Designer powers. It is forming ties to Business and now works more like something in the midground of Business and Progress.

Reformation- <Inside Elemental Researcher, for now>
An imaginary element with a focus on previously-broken things, repairing and strong religious ties.

There is a Time Stickiness- <Inside Elemental Researcher, for now>
Manipulating effect durations, Action removal, Paralyzed: Sticky, Strange interactions with Time. It repeats itself and cannot be dislodged. Its nature is fixed and unchanging, affixing other things into similarly fixed states. It repeats itself and cannot be dislodged. It loops back upon itself. It repeats itself and cannot be dislodged.

Which Calls The End of Earth- <In Elemental Researcher, for now>
Which Calls The End of Earth is a T2 Imaginary element. It operates similarly to Catastrophe Magic, but can imbue individual entities or items, turning them into apocalyptic forces, rather than being spell-focused.


Tier 2 Lower:

Devastation- Ruin Bringer
Destroying things and dealing damage in ways that cannot be recovered from

Qlippothic- Eldritch Occultist
An eldritch force, operating on the flip-side of reality. It corrupts, but when confronted responds with massive power rather than sublety or stealth. It amplifies Forbidden Magic, merging it with Demon Magic, and bridges the gap between Outer Terrors and Fiends. It is hard to access, but once it gets its metaphysical tendrils in somewhere, it swallows up the whole world, refusing to let it go - waiting for those who seek the now-lost realm to delve too deep and find its metaphysical darkness. It offers great power in exchange for an obvious wrongness-of-self. It shares traits with Corruption, but lacks the unified hive mind or centralized ability to be excised from existence - at the same time, it is more willing to let others use it for their own debased desires rather than orchestrating a singular master plan. It rejects enlightenment, propelling mind and spirit downwards into progressively darker planes.

Evil- Villain
High-value stat boosts, Synergies with Daemons/Devils/Demons/Fiends. Malicious and harmful. It focuses more on amplifying other effects than having core themes of its own, but it has a number of sub-trees (which basically all require investment in other classes to get in). Curse infliction, lower-planar-being amplification/summoning, and adding negative effects to offense are among the larger sub-trees.

Madness- Oracle of Lunacy
MIN Damage, Confusion/Insanity, Taking negative effects to reduce spell costs / to summon, SAN/INF/RES alt-stat synergy

Negative- Obverse Decreationist
Negative is a T2 nonbase element. It is based on a mix of negative energy, math, and evil parallel universes. It turns healing into damage, applies debuffs to stats, decreases values, pairs with Voidstruck and Antimatter (and mixes Darkness and Technology while not requiring either), pairs with Energy, prevents buffs, creates copies of beings that are more sinister but usually diminished and less-powerful, opens gates to dark versions of realities, unsummons things / breaks summons down into mana, and synergizes with lower planar beings and undead.


Tier 3 Nonbase:

Boundless- Limitless Numenaut
Boundless is a T3 nonbase element. It focuses on ignoring caps to values, stacking things beyond their limits, and causing effects to hit everything. It is weaker than most T3s initially, but if allowed to ramp in battle becomes devastating in a manner similar to well-prepared Progress.

Cosmic- Principal Power
Cosmic is a T3 nonbase element. It reshapes reality and acts as a supreme force, bypassing resistances while unable to be bypassed itself (in a manner akin to Universe, but to a lower degree and with less potential for backlash to unprepared wielders). It empowers its wielder greatly, but its effect on external beings is, compared to most T3s, fleeting in terms of direct influence (so areas don't tend to become saturated with Cosmic, it creates new beings but they aren't Cosmic element, it reshapes things but doesn't apply lingering curses that re-reshape them if something changes them back, etc). It has ties to Astral, Superpowers, and Energy.

Divine- Deus Omnium
Deity effects, trumping other effects. An element of great power. It starts from a higher, holier position, amplifying deific effects and conducting actions by undeniable sovereign fiat. It accomplishes miracles effortlessly, defines what must be done and what is forbidden, creates avatars, bestows power upon proxy servants, and keeps its wielder eternally in-tune with its wielder's disciples. It allows vast multitasking, the handling of countless prayers each moment, the control of multiple avatars in multiple locations at once, and the perception of a continual eternal 'now' where the wielding deity exists coterminously at several different established points in time, operating as self-foretold as an inevitable, eternal presence.

Dream- Dreamshaper
Battlespaces, Bonuses while asleep, Reality warping, Converting entities and items into other entities and items, Creation of new entities and items

Eternity - Endless One
Avoiding death, Massive HP/MP boosts, Resistance to changes, Stopping item destruction, Prevention of HP/MP/Gold loss

Infinity- Mobius Conqueror
Infinite reservoirs of values, Regeneration, Repeating actions, Endlessly re-applying or undoing effects

Mystery- Enigmatic Stranger
Retroactive battle manipulation, Gain powers based on what people think about you / rumors about you (represented mechanically through triggered-by-scans power boosts, Ability to flip between multiple identities / powersets. Briefly became T2 with the advent of Truth before moving back to T3, but is still notably extremely weak to Truth despite the tier-difference.

Primordium- Titan of the Foundation
Enormous numerical value boosts to its possessor, Rewriting the base mechanics of battle to center around its possessor's competencies

Progress- Infinity Designer
Growing Attributes over time, Adaptive defenses that react to what hurts you and fill in gaps, Targeting known enemy weaknesses and avoiding things enemies resist

Numinous- <CLASS UNKNOWN>
A super-element that overlaps with and empowers a number of others. Tier Shifting may be in its future.

Tier 4 Nonbase:

Hax- Haxxor
Breaking the rules, Breaking mechanics, Hacking reality, Synergies with Reality Coder

Triumph- Supreme Archdominus
Winning, alternate victory/loss conditions


Tier X Nonbase:

Nightmare
Nightmare doesn't have a class and isn't even really part of the 'system'. It was originally present as an example of the forces of Oblivion from Outside and got noted as not being a thing that existed Inside. So it has been sitting around as a reserved element-name that can't occur (it used to also have a status effect that, likewise, could never appear). I'm mildly frustrated that it's sitting there taking up the word that could be used for something else in-system, but at the same time, I don't want to mess with the site's history and the historically-reserved word. So it's sitting in a weird spot (and likely to stay there indefinitely). I suppose for now it can get this blurb in lieu of an explanation of its mechanics (since Outside doesn't quite run on the same mechanics and therefore there is no real mechanical description of it).

Universe- Class currently unknown if present
Trumping everything else, Being unable to be trumped, Being able to take on the traits of any other element(s), Becoming other elements, Being unpierceable, Piercing everything else, Defining base/nonbase elements and element tiers, Immunities, Raw power

Daemon - Puppet Master

Chaos Effect - (Raptor of Anarchy, if the class gets made)
Beings made of raw chaos (though not specifically outsiders), often a mishmash of features and energies. Appeared in the wake of the Mana Cannon incident.
* There's no real class for this, so there isn't a split, but their general features include random values, oddball effects present amidst things that aren't necessarily related, and randomized power results / triggers

Elemental Lord- <Unknown Class>
Like Elementals, but more powerful and with a Deity Effect

Idol - Foundation Builder
The T2 equivalent to Golems.

Invisible - Unseen Master
Invisibles are invisible, intangible entities with nonstandard mana patterns that actively hide them from the majority of reality.

They cannot be summoned by normal individuals, have unusually high Dodge, auto-cancel some actions that target them, and are generally defense-focused. They tend to ignore the world at large and let it ignore them. Most of them are not conventionally intelligent, but some are. The intelligent ones typically wipe knowledge of them from all records; openly disseminating information regarding Invisibles is one of the few things that will get them to act en-masse in a way that affects non-Invisible beings.
Training/Summoning/Pet Aspect: The ability to scan/summon/interact with Invisibles, which usually have blanket-bans on that sort of stuff from general-purpose abilities

Primordial - Lifebrewer

Protean- Patternwarper
The T2 equivalent to Shapeshifters.

Rootmind - Land's Nexus
The T2 equivalent to Plants. Rootminds are numinous mind-presences that manifest as and connect to plant life and areas (with the area part being moreso a connection than a manifestation, with some exceptions). They synergize with psi, mind-affecting status effects, plants, geomancy, and channeling. They tend to be able to link up to, direct, spawn, and control plants, and they tend to establish geomantic effects while blocking out geomantic effects and manipulations from opponents and competitors. They can get bonus actions and act like units where it helps them, but act singularly when it is to their benefit. They can usually discorperate and become hard to target, but their powers are generally stronger when they have a tangible body (which also gives them a more-hittable weak point). They have tendencies to be able to come back to life if they die but their Plant allies aren't all swiftly defeated afterwards (assuming anti-res stuff isn't used - they're bad against anti-res). They tend to have high MIN and can generally sub MIN in for CON (though sometimes they can do the reverse when corporeal).

World Eater - Doom of the Spheres
The T2 equivalent to Astral Being.



Tier 2 Imaginary

Improved Ultraviolet Sun Duke- <In Elemental Researcher, for now>
Improved Ultraviolet Sun Duke is a T2 Imaginary entity subtype. They are similar to Arch-Solars as a type of improved Solar Being, but their divine powers only manifest part of the time. Their mana patterns take on the hard-to-percieve nature of ultraviolet light and dip into the zones beyond perception, granting them power over Imaginary elements (and other Imaginary forces). They are weaker than standard Arch-Solars when their esoteric powers are not fully manifested, but when in domains with sufficient quantities of Imaginary mana that has become Real, they are more dangerous (and unpredictable) than their counterparts.



Tier 3 Nonbase

General Classes:

Base:

Attack
Standard moves for PCs and special uncategorized super-moves for PCs, mostly includes Active Abilities, but also contains some other things like Stances. Most abilities in it are augmentable through powers from other classes.

Blessing
Bonuses and assorted positive abilities, Typically only obtainable through quests/events (though there are exceptions)

Friendship
Abilities reflecting connections to others, Typically only obtainable through quests/events (though there are exceptions), Generally provide synergistic bonuses when with proper allies

Flaw

Permanent Item Effect
Bonuses and assorted positive abilities, Obtained primarily through Permanent Consumables, Often upgradable through additional item use, Often not usable in combos
