Elements

## General information

**An element** is a natural ability the dragons and darkers possess. It allows them to use nature forces as they please, however it requires good training.

## Elemental wielding

As it's shown further, each element belongs to a certain branch. For example, electricity is from Fire branch.

Dragons can wield only elements from the light group.

Darkers can wield elements only from the dark group.

Half-darkers can wield elements from either group.

## Duo-breathers

Duo-breathers are dragons/darkers, who can wield 2 elements of the same elemental branch (for example, water and ice). The elements, however, tend to be closely related (fire and blue fire, wind and tornado, etc), see bottom of the page for all possible combinations.

Duo-breathers are uncommon. They experience a lot of troubles while learning to master their elements as it's hard to control, especially when the elements are different from each other. Often they master only 1 element and the other stays undeveloped.

## Elemental inheritance

The elements are inherited, as magic is carried by blood.

1. Most often children inherit elements of their parents. For example, a child of fire and ice elemented dragons will have either fire or ice as their element.
2. Rarely the element can be inherited from grandparents, or even grand-grand-parents.

The elements can't appear out of nowhere.

## Exceptions

Purple dragons can master elements from different branches. Their first element though is inherited as well.

Cynder, since she was corrupted, can use 3 dark group elements besides her inherited light element of Wind.

## Elemental tree

There are 2 elemental trees (one for each group), which connect via convexity and neutral elements.

Each elemental tree has a few main branches (named as "base element"), from which the sub-elements go.

For example, air dragons can have any elements from the air branch.
