Magic in Lavera: The Four Elements

This is about the general knowledge of magic in Lavera, for scientific knowledge see: The Magic Weave (restricted access).
Fire. Water. Earth. Air. In Lavera the four elements form the basis of almost all magic. Apart from the four base elements spellcasters may utilize a number of other types of arcane energy. Those are the element of nature, the element of the weave and the element of life.

*There is no transmutation magic in Lavera that is not based on one of the four base elements. Therefor there are no normal druids in Lavera. The few ones that exists can only transform into elementals.
*Due to the element of life only being praticed by clerics and othervise being very rare undead are more or less non-existent. What do exist is dead beings revived with elemental magic as fire zombies, water wraiths, earth skeletons and air mummys. The difference from normal undead is that the energy powerign the undead is not necromantic but elemental.
*Each spellcaster is proficient with one of the 4 elements. Ruleswise that means each spellcaster gains feats exclusive to their element when they level up. Spells for each element are listed under Four Elements I: Air, Four Elements II: Water, Four Elements III: Fire and Four Elements IV: Earth.

Beings

Constructs

Elemental Armor
CR 4, slightly rebalanced dragon wyrmlings
Made long ago in one of the wars. Modern and usefull at the time they later dissapered. Their sudden decline in use was not due to their effectiveness but due to the knowledge of their manufacturing becoming open. In the process of making a warfoged a elemental is forced into the body of a humanoid. That humanoid is then, still alive, forced into an enchanted metal suit of armor. It takes a week for the enchantments to finalize, where in the end the person inside it finally dies and its body turned to dust. The armors also needed to refill their energy by more humanoid sacrifices, each similar to the original being that was consumed by the armor.
After the decline in Elemental Armors they were replaced with Animated Armors, a new technology not requiring any sacrifice but lacking in the immense power of Elemental Armors.

These mephits looks like the common mephits with the exception of their eyes. They all only have one big black eye instead of the normal two. This black eye shimmers in all colors of the rainbow which have caused these mephits to gain the nickname Oil Mephits. In abilities they are the same as normal mephits with the addition of that their eye can see what creature is or isn't a spellcaster. This is very usefull as their faveourite food is spellcasters.

Undead

Permanent Magic

Permanent magic can be created in a number of different ways.
The common way (name here): The magic must be bound to an item. The cost and length of creating the permanent magic is halved is the enchanted item is appropriate for the magic. In almost all cases good enought crystals count as appropriate.
After the permanent magic is created it holds its power for 100 times its normal duration, after which it loses its power. While in good condition the permanent magic may be recharged by one cast of the magic, and it once again restores it to 100 times it original duration.
Permanent magic may be continuously powered by generic magical energy (not cast as specific spell). In that case half the energy is lost (twice the amount of magic is needed).
This stored magic energy is sold and used in the form of Energy Disks that has a high amount of low powered magical energy.
