Elemental Magics

The Elemental magics is not like it's siblings. The magic radiates from simple sources of energy throughout the natural world. As such this magic is everywhere and the hardest to master. The skills required are unorthodox in that the best way to control it, is through dance or improvised gestures. This set is divided up into two subgroups.  

Fire

  The first is Fire, with it the user has control over the flame and with it, devastating attacks. User must have a source of fire to use it however. Fire doesn't appear out of thin air and such all the user needs is a spark. Just one little spark and a adept user can turn it into a wildfire. The dance is based upon the upper body and hand movements. The arms are the direct control over the flames while the user dances. Very little control is dedicated to the feet, but could be used to keep the fire moving while transition to another style. The dances brings movement, but the mind keeps the flame alive. The flame is as strong as the emotion used to fuel it. This may sound odd, but the idea is simple. Controlling the flame starts with the passion of the dance. As the dance progress, your emotions might change as well. This will lead to different results if unchecked, but an adept user can use any emotion without issue.  

Water

  The second it water. Water has its own dance based upon a clear mind. The lower body is used instead and the legs are the key controller. Remaining calm in the most important part of this dance. Water taken from its source, such as a river, will need all the user's focus must be on the movement. While the fire it about focusing on what you feel, water is focusing on the dance and nothing else. Any user can control water with ease, but it's the quantity that matters most. The more water, the more focus required to move it. Another obstacle to the dancer is the water needs to be pure enough to move. Muddy water would be difficult to move because of the dissolved load. Ocean, river, lake, and ice would all be suitable for the dance.   The dances are opposites, just like thee other magics with their won subsets. This results in a dancer only picking one type of dances. Mixing the two causes disastrous results and failure. The dances themselves are not hard to learn, but it's the control over your emotions or having a clear mind that troubles most dancers.

Manifestation

The energy is within all the basic natural elements of the worlds. By finding the correct dance and mindset, one can control any such source.
This set of magic in intriguing. While just as powerful as the other two sets, this set is the hardest to master with no foreseeable reason why. Many wild creatures can use it from birth, yet all the up right races don't have an sensitivity toward it
