Elements

Velone is a world structured around what is known to most in the know as the "Elemental Fabric" in which every elemental energy has it's place, creating and destroying to keep a constant balance in the world. This fabric is weaved through what is assumed every object, landscape, material or being; and has been a field of study in past that has been a constant area in which breakthroughs and new discoveries are made and then utilized to increase the knowledge of Velone's people.

The Four Elements, The "Basis".
Basis are another name for the four elements the elemental fabric are made of: Together or seperate the four elements above are known as Basis when discussed about in their most scientific form during research or other such converstions. The way the world works in accordance to Basis is lost to most of society however even with the amount of enlightenment the academics of Velone can offer.
 * Basis Fire, the element of power and destruction.
 * Basis Earth, the element of edurance and stability.
 * Basis Wind, the element of wisdom and evolution.
 * Basis Water, the element of adaptation and creation.



Most beings born in Velone have a high affinity towards one of the four Basis, known simply as their Affinity. For the most part most individuals are ot aware or simply do not care as it has no impact on their day to day lives, though even in those circumstances it's been documented that some react or feel odd when there are high concentrations of the opposing elemental basis nearby in the land or other creatures. See the picture to the right to learn of the Basis Ring, whereas "opposing" elements are across from one another. Every so often however a being may be born with such a high elemental affinity, they may be classified as what has become known as "Archetypes "; mortals with an obsence connection with their own affinity and the elemental fabric in general.
 * Fire/Wind oppose one another.
 * Earth/Water oppose one another.

What about magic?
For all intensive prurposes most casters existing in Velone have no noticable corruptions when it comes to their spellcasting or rituals. This isn't to say there may be someway for beings to use their affinity in combat, however.

When it comes to receiving a blow from an enemy that may be using a magical attack, it is highly unlikely that even if you share a weakness to the element of the attack that it'll change much. The elemental fabric works on a seperate level compared to that of those who conjure spells using mana in the air.

How do the elements effect gameplay?
There is a vivid description to changes the "Affinity System" has on the default pathfinder system; see Affinity System.
