Elements

> *"A Toa's main power is their elemental attunement, it allows them to master a variety of techniques"* Helryx

Elements (要素 Yōso) are innate powers in the soul of every being, for Matoran these powers can be accessed through the use of Kanohi. If a Kanohi deems a Matoran who attempts to wear worthy of its power the Matoran will transform into a Toa. For Bohrok these powers can be accessed if the Bahrag that created them allows it however the Bohrok-Kal are the expectation to this rule. For Agori the process requires a Nui and the user is then transformed into a Glatorian. For Skakdi this requires working in conjunction with either another Skakdi or using a specially made weapon. For other beings methods of accessing elemental powers have either been lost to time or have yet to be discovered. For Toa being able to create an elemental technique is seen as signifies mastery of the user's inner element.

## List of Known Elements

### Light

Light is the rarest of all the elements to the point that there have only been two beings known to have had it across the entirety of all seventy four universes. Those with the power of Light can create, control, and manipulate light around them. They are also shown to be able to counter those with the element of shadow and purify those who's inner darkness has been corrupted. They can also master the techniques associated with light.

#### Techniques:

##### Light Staff

The user summons a glaive made of light. The glaive can cut through pretty much anything and can be extended or modified by the user.

##### Light Blades

Two blades of pure light come out of palm of the user's hands. Similar to the Light Staff the blades can be modified by the user.

##### Light-Speed

The user uses their powers to latch on to light as it travels. This allows them to run at extreme speeds, and the built up momentum can be used to launch the user high up into the air.

#### Users:

* Takua Ichimura *(Formerly - Inaccessible)*

### Shadow

Shadow is the second least common element after light, although nowhere near as rare as light, shadow is considered extremely uncommon among beings. It is also considered a sign of evil within beings. Those with the power of Shadow can create, control, and manipulate shadows around them.
