The Elements

Five elemental principles underpin the world of Arginet: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.

Although they take the names of physical things they are distinguished more philosophically than materially. Spirits of Fire, for instance, care less about whether someone is physically burning than about whether they are figuratively burning with passion and energy. Similarly, although Metal is the most concerned with wealth and avarice, sacrifices of previous metals are appreciated by spirits of every element.
