 History

## Capabilities

One of the most impressive treasures of the Adept is the Talisman of the Four Elements which provides the Adept with a means to transform himself into one of four elemental forces:

* As Air, the Adept is an excellent spy - impossible to be seen, and able to bypass any obstacle (indeed the term 'air' undermines this form - if anything it is closer to phatasmic due to an absolute lack of physical presence). He is also capable of intense speed - able to reach any point on earth in just under 30 minutes!
* As Earth, the Adept becomes a brute of force - able to resist incredible amounts of damage and life equally impressive weight.
* As Fire, the Adept takes on a more 'aggressive' varient of his 'Air' state. While able to fly, its speed is no where near his travel state. Though intangible, he is still vulnerable to energy-based attacks and isn't able to move freely through objects. In exchange he is able to deal incredible amounts of damage in melee by simply touching his target to burn them. He is even able to teleport to a degree in this form.
* As Water, the Adept becomes quite that - a living water elemental. While submerged he becomes impossible to visually identify, and gains incredible swimming mobility. His body looses some tangibility though, unlike Air and Fire, retains enough physical presence to manipulate his surroundings while allowing him to 'seep' out of the majority of restraints. He is also able to stretch his limbs out to an incredible distance and can use his body to catch falling victims with relative safety. Finally this form offers a minor form of combative telekinesis - in that he can cause water to form around a target to deprive them of oxygen or simply tire them down.

Unfortunately the Talisman is easily removed, meaning any enemy who identifies it as the source of the Adept's 'shapeshifting' can steal it to deprive him of its power.
