Element (Toaru)

==Summary==
Element (エレメント) is a term used to refer to a type of lifeform that invaded Academy City during a mysterious heatwave. Elements are bizarre creatures made of translucent crystal. They are mainly modeled after plants or animals that use some form of mimicry, using their translucent bodily structure for camouflage.
Elements are reduced lifeforms created by Kihara Yuiitsu's as a hybrid of science of magic by reverting the process in which the remains of animals and plants turn into petroleum. However, Yuiitsu didn't manage to reach the level of creating a life or a soul, and the Elements are basically dolls animated by a magic core based on one of the four elements, which gives them access to elemental magic at the most basic level.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Element Classes: Elements are classified by their sizes, with each new class being twice as big as the previous one.
**Class 1: 3 meters Elements. The smallest "combat" Elements, these Elements are still dangerous enough to easily kill normal humans. Shown species: Flower Mantis, Ant-mimicking Spider, Octopus, Longhorn Beetle, Bark Mantis, Spider, Octopus, Stick-bug.
**Class 2: 6 meters Elements. Shown species: Hishigani Crab, Maneki-Gumo.
**Class 3: 12 meters Elements. Shown species: Octopus.
**Class 4: 24 meters Elements, didn't appear in the story but were mentioned to exist by Touma.
**Class 5: Didn't appear in the story, but are assumed to exist to fill the gap between Class 4 and Class 6. Likely around 50 meters in size.
**Class 6: 100 meters Elements, the largest class. Due to their sheer size, Class 6s are capable of casually destroying the buildings of Academy City. Shown species: Lizard, Crocodile, Emperor Scorpion, Leaf Mantis, Eupithecia, Clearwing Moth.
**Class 0: The smallest Elements, smaller than a grain of rice and taking the form of winged insects. These Elements were used by Yuiitsu to get information on the outside world while hiding underground. Class 0s transmit information using ultrasonic waves.
*Translucent Mimicry: Due to the Element's translucent body, they are capable of blending into the background with utmost precision, becoming nearly invisible. Elements are able to get within a few meters of a human before being noticed, and sometimes they are capable of seemingly appearing out of nowhere and blindside an opponent. When an Element moves blending with the background the scenery will shimmer.
*Elemental Cores: Each Element has a colored core in the center of its body that looks like a will-o’-the-wisp, indicating the Element's affinity. Elements are animated by the core, and they are able to ignore injuries that would kill normal animals and keep moving until the core is gone.
**Red Core: A common core, identifying the Element as a fire Element. Fire Elements are capable of manipulating fire in multiple ways, be it wrapping flames around their limbs or shooting it out as a blast of fire. The fire used by Elements is described to have the stickiness of heavy oil.
**Blue Core: A core identifying the Element as a water Element. Water Elements can shoot ultra-high pressure water like a laser beam to slice through objects, sometimes used as a makeshift anti-air cannon to eliminate flying threats.
**Yellow Core: A rare core, identifying the Element as a wind Element. Wind Elements are capable of firing a solid air blast that looks more like a wall than a gust of wind.
**Green Core: A core identifying the Element as an earth Element. Earth Elements appear to be capable of manipulating earth, being capable of shooting sharp pebbles as projectiles.
