Draamswald Elements

The elements of Draamswald are portrayed by a large equilateral triangle divided into 4 smaller equilateral triangles. Each outside triangle is further subdivided into 3 equal kite shaped quadrilaterals while the center triangle is divided into 3 isosceles triangles such that each isosceles triangles touch only one outside triangle.

1.  Elements of Matter

Traditionally the first element referenced is Elemental. Elemental is associated with the three elements of matter in that it is their opposite. The damage type associated with Elemental is acid. Elemental is placed in the top isosceles triangle.

The adjoining equilateral triangle contains the three elements of matter. Each of them represents a form of matter and is associated with spells that explicitly manipulate those forms. They are:

Mistral
element of Air
Vistal
element of Water
Terral
element of Earth

2.  Elements of Energy

The second set of elements is linked to Felamsic. Felamsic is the opposition for the elements of energy. Felamsic as an element is associated with cold damage as it is the absence of energy. This element occupies the bottom right isosceles triangle in the diagram of elements.

The adjoining equilateral triangle contains the three elements of energy. Each of them represents a form of energy and is associate with spells that explicitly manipulate that energy. They are:

Demius

Tholius

4.  Tirinius: the Final Element

The final element is Tirinius. Tirinius is associate with the cycles of the world, time and the encompassing of everything as a whole. Of all the elements Tirinius is the most abstract. It is the final element, the first element and in some sense all of the elements. It is studied by scholars more than practical spellcasters. While much of it is not understood it has become culturally associated as a symbol of hope.
