| rdfs:comment | - This Discipline enables a New Order Grand Master to manipulate the four basic elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. By drawing upon individual elements that are available, or combinations thereof, he is able to detach, affix, increase, concentrate, intensify, remove, or accelerate this matter to fulfil a specific purpose, e.g. create a wall, hurl a rock, spray sand, remove air, intensify fire. The versatility of this Discipline increases as a New Order Grand Master advances in rank.
- As mush a fringe science as magic, elementalism manipulates and exploits elemental forces to punishing effect.
- Elementalism is the use of elemental magic by a covenanter. The "four great elementals": ignis, undines, sylphs, and gnomes are manifestations of the power of nature, and as such hold power over the natural forces of fire, water, air, and earth. On their own elementals can exert only passive effects on the environment, but by associating themselves with a mortal covenanter they become as a duo capable of powerful magical spells. There are various organizations in the Monster Girl Encyclopedia world which hold differing views on the nature and purpose of elemental magic.
- The four elements are earth, fire, wind and water, and a user of this sphere will have control over them all (though how much depends on his/her level).
- I am the firmament upon which creation was laid. What sword can harm me? What wall can resist my strength?--Granik, earth elemental
- Elementalism is the communication one can make with an element, and have it react. There are seven elements (fire, air, earth, water, electricity, light and life). To eliminate confusion, death and darkness are not elements they are just a lack of light and life.
- Elementalism was humanity's attempt to create its own all-encompassing theory of magic. It was created in the time before Teclis arrived from Ulthuan and taught humans the truth. Despite being rejected by the Imperial Colleges centuries ago, the theory still has many adherents, thanks mainly to the fact that elementalists are prepared to study things other than offensive and defensive spells.

| Content | - Elementals take on forms such as those of the flickering flames themselves, masses of water that look vaguely human shaped, ect, extremely unstable and indefinite. Their wit and intelligence are comparatively high, and they can converse with humans. They also have emotions similar to those of humans. They have no bodies and are unable to touch other objects. They have no way of interfering with the physical world except through lending their power to humans. Also, elementals have no gender. They are neither male, nor female. Perhaps for that reason, many of them take an interest in and yearn for the romance and sexual relations of men and women who possess the bodies and genders that they do not.
- As for the elementalist association, it's duties include the following: teaching elementalists the right way to use their power, serving as a place where elementalists can exchange and share information with each other, mediating jobs that require the power of an elementalist, and performing research for the sake of using the power of the elementals properly and more effectively. Also, they perform philanthropic work using the power of the elementals to help people suffering in poverty in desolate lands like the former Polove.

- Elementalism was humanity's attempt to create its own all-encompassing theory of magic. It was created in the time before Teclis arrived from Ulthuan and taught humans the truth. Despite being rejected by the Imperial Colleges centuries ago, the theory still has many adherents, thanks mainly to the fact that elementalists are prepared to study things other than offensive and defensive spells. Those who have studied elementalism are often vehement that their underlying theory of magic is correct and Teclis' teachings were, at best, misguided or, at worst, a scheme to lure humanity's knowledge of sorcery into a dead-end. Their evidence for this is that they can perform a number of spells and command certain primeval forces about which the warmongers at the Imperial College only dream. They tend to gloss over the fact that Imperial wizards have more power at their disposal; subtlety and depth of knowledge, they say, is more important than brute force.
- Elementalism is the communication one can make with an element, and have it react. There are seven elements (fire, air, earth, water, electricity, light and life). To eliminate confusion, death and darkness are not elements they are just a lack of light and life. In elementalism, a person asks an element to react. They might do so indirectly, such as moving the arms, or directly by talking with the element, or by telepathically communicating. If the elementalist becomes powerful enough, it may feel like they are parallel with the element when communicating. The elementalist will become one with the element and every move and/or breath they make while communicating will mean a movement or reaction from an element. Although elementalists have powers, they are not magicians. They are not in a religion or a cult either. Religion is based on beliefs, whereas elementalism is based on truth and facts. It is thought that, once upon a time, all humans were elementalists, but over the years, the "sixth sense" became dull and was no longer as strong because of modernization. It generally comes easier with people who are at one with and respect nature. Elementalism is a product of the sixth sense, and is therefore connected to psychic power and dreams. Historical recordsare not always clear, but are always present. It was often mistaken for witchcraft, resulting in the distruction of most human operators of the sixth sense, as well as, it seems, most human operators of the seventh sense: common sense. All humans have the power to be elementalists, they just have to keep trying at it and not have a shred of disbelief in their minds. Do not let the notion of what is considered rationality hinder your will. Also, it may work, they may just be looking for the wrong things (the reaction may be very weak at first). Don't give up, this world needs elementalists.
