Element

There are seven elements: light, dark, earth, wind, water, fire and divine.

Elements currently have no effect on combat. Items and spells can carry an element, but it does not change damage dealt or taken.

Equipment and spells

A piece of equipment either has one element, or has none and a rating (rare, common or many) for how readily it takes one. An item can hold an element that stays unknown until revealed^[1], and the same item can come in several elemental versions. Some spells carry an element too.

Announced strengths

The announcement that introduced elements gave each one a target^[2]:

• Light: dark-aligned creatures and shadows.
• Dark: holy or light-bound creatures.
• Water: fire and heat-based creatures.
• Earth: wind and unstable or flying creatures.
• Fire: nature, ice and heavily armoured creatures.
• Wind: earth and slow-moving creatures.
• Divine: all types.
