Editing Elementalism (section)

==Methodology==
Elementalism is a material and conjure oriented school, meaning there is a heavy focus on collecting power to summon the forces of nature. At its most basic level, Elementalists can call forth elemental spirits to perform effects such as fireballs, lightning, or a hibernation-inducing [[blizzard]]. However these spirits must be channeled through an appropriate item. Another basic spell is the ability to store elemental spirits into containers.

More adept Elementalists can bind an elemental [[spirit]]s to a [[vessel]], giving those spirits more autotomy in the material world.<ref>

All spirits expend power when being used, so most Elementalists have to find ways to restore that power.

Because of this a given Elementalist can be very powerful but only for set chunks of time before they run out.<ref>The weather picked up, and their backup came through the woods.  A figure surrounded by the mist of wind and rain.  She carried a flashlight, and the refracting light on moisture droplets illuminated the entire area around her.<br><br>A little localized storm.<br><br>Elementalists tended to have a lot of power for very short times, and sometimes a little bit of side stuff if they had a storm or power source to draw on. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/18 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.y]]</ref>
