Elemental mage

Elemental mages were specialist wizards in Zakhara.

Requirements
These mages did not have any special requirements, though elemental mages following the path of flame tended to be evil. The four elemental categories were sand, wind, sea, and flame.

Role
Elemental mages were rare compared to the other types of magic-users found in the Zakhara. Once it was learned that a mage was an elementalist, distrust usually followed. Most of this distrust and suspicion arose because of the Brotherhood of the True Flame. Many elementalists were solitary practitioners, not members of an organization of one of the chosen elements.

Possessions
Elemental mages used the same equipment as regular mages.

Special Benefits
Elemental mages chose one of the four elements in which to specialize. They had a knack for learning spells within their chosen element as well as resistance to magic related to their element. Elemental damage from their offensive spells related to their element were stronger than those of non-elemental mages using the same spell.

Special Hindrance
Outside of universal spells, elemental mages could not learn any spells outside of their chosen element. This included using magical items that replicated effects from these spells.
