The World of Elance

Elance is a medieval-esque world populated by humans, monsters, and magical creatures. All sentient beings in Elance have the capacity for some level of magic; though, the ability for most is low-level and limited to only one of the primary elements (fire, earth, water, wind, dark, and light). Exceptionally talented magic-users may be able to perform spells with two or three elements, but everyone has a particular elemental affinity and most stick to spells that fall under that affinity.
The humans of Elance worship some particular magical creatures as gods, but the vast majority of such creatures are viewed with suspicion and contempt. Most magical creatures have taken to disguising themselves as humans to deal with the problem or simply avoiding them at all costs. The human population does outnumber magical creatures, though, and they just seem to be everywhere these days. Here a human, there a human. Ah, for the good old days when they stayed frightened in their homes at night while the predators went roaming!
For the current days, life carries on. There are battles between various nobles, but no real concerted wars between anyone.
- Fire - Excellent destructive capabilities; heals cuts/punctures and hypothermia
- Earth - Excellent growth capabilities; heals bruises/broken bones
- Water - Combination protective and destructive capabilities; heals burns and restores vitality
- Wind - Combination protective and destructive capabilities; heals respiratory ailments
- Dark - Excellent stealth capabilities; heals infections and more serious medical conditions
- Light - Excellent enhancement capabilities; heals vision-related ailments and injuries
