Elementalism
Elementalists study the basic building blocks of existence (air, earth, fire, and water) learning to harness their powers. Eventually they transcend their mortal forms and become elemental beings.
Elementalists often begin their careers as individuals intrigued by one or all of the classic elements. These wizards typically find themselves drawn to spells of a particular energy type. These mages find satisfaction in the unleashed purity of the elemental energy forms, and they become Elementalists to grow closer to the element that becomes their favorite.
