Arcane*
* Denotes an element every character receives.
This means that they choose any of the three elements and on top of that they receive the Arcane element.
The Arcane element is essentially the, "raw magic" element and will allow unaligned raw magic energy to be used as either shields, blasts of energy, swords of raw nonelemental aligned energy and etc.
You are required to have 3 elements (Arcane and three others of your choosing) that you are strongly aligned with. The rest are usable but not to the same proficiency as the 3 you are aligned with.
