Elementalism is, in some ways, one of the purest disciplines of magic. Many have penned high-minded screeds about how the arcane must mesh with society, how magic should elevate us beyond the mundane strife and struggles of the world--but I find there are very few problems that cannot be solved with a lightning bolt.
