Elemental magic

[Nare Sairon]

Can someone give some info about elementals, elements and elemental magic?
I think I am an elemantal mage (I can make fire and wind stronger) but I can't do very much.

So, any tips would be welcome.

well as far as i can actually tell the type of magic you can use is based on the element or elements that you feel calm and relaxed in as for me i am more relaxed surrounded by earth wind and water. but for others it is a big margin.
(not sure if this post is acording to subject though)

Yes, indeed. I feel best in wind, fire and on earth (not IN fire of course).
But I actually ment the how-to.
How to use the magic?

That is a hard question to answer. There are different ways to use magic. To some, they do it naturally, like a dragon's fire breath (or ice breath in my case). Others need some sort of help or medium to acomplish it, like spells and rituals. I couldn't really explain how to use magic to you. I'm in sort of the same boat my self, being able to make it colder and other stuff, but not knowing how I do it. Its like the know how is just out of reach, I did however get better at controlling my power a little better by focusing on how it feels when it happens. My advise would be is to sit down and empty your mind (like metitating or relaxing). Then try to remember back to when you last did something and how it felt, make yourself have that feeling again. Then search your mind throughly. Even if you fail the first time at finding something, keep on doing it, eventually you'll find something that you haven't noticed before. For me I've come to realize that I've had some memories locked away and blocked for some reason. All I know is that I was the one who did it, acidental or on purpose is still unknown.
Thats all I can help with at this point, mabye try to find someone who went through the same boat as you. You'll be suprised on how many are out there. Ask them for advise and for help, you may even get some close friends out of it. Even sit in a field on a windy day may help you understand it better. It helps me being alone on cold nights.

the use of magic is something great and powerful and it must be controlled. the way I use my ability (I am a Shadowmancer... Shadow Wielder... Shadow Knight... many ways to state what I am) any ways the way I use my power is by gathering the energy of my surroundings preferably when I am surrounded by shadows of any type. and I focus that power into an orb and with that orb I have used what we call magic but the way to use that orb is entirely different.

What are the uses for the orb in my hand? well there are thousands of uses but it is better to find the good uses for that orb than to find the bad.

good uses.

Wind: Help farmers with their crops by causing the wind to shift in a favorable way that it rains on their crops.

Earth: Manipulate the soil so that it is more fertile

Fire: Control the raging flames that burn down forests

Water: Save the drowning person before they die in the waters.

Light: Save those who are lost

Shadow: Move through the knight protecting those who are dear to you

Many others that could be listed... and the bad uses are easily found... however there is a good use in combat for the elements... Defending your land Defending those you love and care for. Many are those who find the bad uses and enjoy the feeling... those are the ones who fall into the taint of evil.
