There are six elements in Temuair: earth, water, fire, air, light, and dark. The basic four elements, earth, water, fire, and air, compose a circle of strengths and weaknesses as shown in the picture to the right.
The word fas means strong. Creag fas sal means that earth elemental attacks is strong against water elemental defense. Water (sal) is strong against Fire (srad), Fire is strong against Air (athar), and Air is strong against Earth (creag).
An elemental attack is weakest against a matching elemental defense. For instance, water defense is best against sal spells.
Light and dark do not fit into the cycle of the basic elements. Dark and light attacks hurt about as much as a nuetral elemental attack. The advantage is that they are nuetral to all the basic elements, so you will not encounter creatures with strong defense against your attack. (Dracos and dubheimid are the exception. They have dark defense.) Dark defense is fairly strong against all elements except light. Deo Saighead is the only known light attack so it is hard to compare to other elemental interactions. Deo Saighead is very strong against dark defense elements. There is not yet any known light defense.

Monks may sense the elemental attack nature and defense nature of beasts when they approach mastery of Echo Sense or Martial Awareness. Rogues may use Study Creature to sense elemental affinities of monsters and the Sense skill to find the elemental affinities of aislings. The attack nature only corresponds to the physical attacks of the creature. A single creature could cast spells of an element that doesn't match the its attack nature, and the defense nature could be yet a third element.
An aisling may sense his own elemental affinities even if he can not identify the items that are providing the elements. ((Open the stats page by pressing G or alt-G. The elements are in the top right corner. The top one is your attack nature. The one below it is your defense nature.)) |
