While most Primevalists focus on one or two elements, some powerful practitioners can weave together multiple forces to create unique effects of these elements, such as mixing Fire and Earth together to make something extraordinary. Although, this isn't the only thing these mages are capable of. Primevalists who’ve trained and attuned themselves properly, develop some resistance to environmental extremes. All their effort and time allowed their bodies to adapt to hazards that more than likely kill a normal kin, like volcanic heat, arctic cold, or desert drought. Although depending on their attunement, the effects can also be rather dire. An example of this would be a fire mage trapped within the rough currents of the depths. No fire resides in these waters, which not only halts their abilities, but also affects their body more greatly than others. 

With their profound understanding of natural laws, Primevalists and Druids alike have honed their skills in Herbal Alchemy, a specialized art that allows them to harness the latent power within plants, minerals, and even the essence of the elements. Through this craft, they can create potions, salves, and elixirs that go beyond the abilities of conventional healers or alchemists, drawing on the natural world’s energies to enhance their remedies. Primevalists’ and Druids unique relationship with the land enables them to see the hidden potential within every root and leaf, transforming common herbs into powerful magical brews that can heal, harm, or even alter perception.

The world has long provided resources for the souls who walk its plains; miners delve deep into its core to furnish blacksmiths with metals for new crafts and woodworkers with timber for new homes. This cycle forms the foundation of civilization itself. Yet, these mages have taken it a step further, transforming and evolving the very world as we know it. These Primeval mages have developed a rare craft known as Primeval Alloying, a form of elemental metallurgy that combines raw materials with elemental energy to create metals and materials that are infused with the life force of the natural world. This ancient art requires not only a deep knowledge of metallurgy but also an ability to attune to and harness elemental forces. Through this process, Primevalists can produce custom alloys that resonate with nature’s energies, granting unique elemental resistances or enhancements when forged into weapons, armor, or talismans. These enchanted creations are sought by warriors, scholars, and protectors of the land alike, for they are imbued with the spirit and resilience of the earth itself.

These magics have undoubtedly brought great advancements to races across the lands, empowering souls to reach extraordinary heights with newfound power and influence. From healing the sick to bolstering crops, the benefits of these arts are felt far and wide. Yet, the very forces that uplift can also devastate, carrying a darker potential that few wish to acknowledge. For every blessing, there lies the risk of harm, for these magicks are as capable of destruction as they are of creation, casting long shadows beside their radiant light. 

As we know it, Primevalists wield magic drawn directly from the natural world. When a mage recklessly channels earth, fire, water, or air energies beyond their control, they can tear at the land itself, causing environmental catastrophes. Misguided use of earth magic can fracture bedrock and destabilize entire ecosystems, while unbridled water magic may trigger floods, washing away villages and farmlands. This abuse can leave entire regions barren, stripped of life and growth, a lasting scar on the land.

For those with darker intentions, Primeval magicks offer a wellspring of tools to impose their will, sow destruction, and spread fear. The elemental forces that once inspired awe and reverence can, in malicious hands, become instruments of terror and domination. , abandon the balance of nature in pursuit of personal power, using their knowledge of the elements to fulfill ruthless ambitions or wreak havoc on a grand scale.

Primeval magic dates back to a time before recorded history, when people lived as hunter-gatherers, deeply reverent of nature’s spirits. The earliest Primevalists were likely shamans and druids who discovered their abilities through close communion with the land. Through trial and error, they learned to influence small parts of their environment, like calling for rain or sparking a small fire. Initially, their practices were simple, instinctual responses to natural forces, which gradually evolved into a refined and powerful art and as their bond with the land deepened, Primevalists developed new skills, such as tremorsense, the ability to detect movements in the earth, and animal attunement, which allowed them to communicate with and tame creatures. This transformation expanded the scope of Primeval magic into a diverse discipline, encompassing everything from elemental combat to herbal alchemy. 

Over time, their skills advanced from basic elemental cantrips to feats of impressive control. Minor abilities, such as creating small flames, shifting pebbles, or summoning a gentle breeze, grew into fine-tuned powers capable of transforming the landscape. Eventually, Primevalists learned to manipulate gravity, freeze or vaporize water, and summon the elements with devastating force. With generations passing, the knowledge of Primeval magic needed to be kept preserved through oral traditions, which gained structure and complexity. By the time recorded history began, Primevalists had established small circles dedicated to refining their craft and understanding the laws of nature. These groups, committed to preserving ancient wisdom, trained new generations of Primevalists to wield their magic responsibly for the good of their world.

As for ancient Primevalists, these so-called legends of the past were wild and untamed, their power chaotic and unrefined unlike the people of today. Some stories speak of Altheon the Stonecaller, a mage said to have moved mountains by channeling the earth’s raw strength, and Lyra the Verdant, a druid capable of causing entire forests to bloom with a mere whisper. It is believed that these first mages had no formal training; rather, they received their abilities directly from the land, which “chose” them as stewards of its power. More will be said about these kin.

Primevalists fall into various disciplines depending on their elemental focus, personal resonance, and the specific talents they develop. Here are some common types of Primeval mages that are well-known throughout the lands.

To start us off, we have the most visually dynamic Primevalists, Elementalists These souls  channel one or more elements to their peak potential. They are often masters of one element, wielding it with both precision and raw power. Fire Elementalists, for example, can summon firestorms, while Earth Elementalists may raise stone barriers or create quakes.

As for Druids. They embody nature’s balance, living as its protectors and healers. They have a deep connection to animals, plants, and the land itself, capable of transforming into creatures, calling upon swarms of animals, or causing plants to grow and shield them. Druids often have skills in herbalism, using natural remedies and poisons to aid their allies or weaken their foes.

A less common type of mage is the Graviturgist, who specializes in the laws of gravity and magnetism. Graviturgists possess the ability to lighten their own bodies, allowing them to move with remarkable speed, or to increase the gravitational pull around their enemies, hindering their movement. Some even have the capability to create localized fields of weightlessness or draw objects toward themselves as if wielding a powerful magnet.

Alchemia specialists are skilled in enhancing materials. They combine metals with natural energies, creating weapons and artifacts that have specific elemental resistances. Advanced Alchemia often involves concocting potent brews, elixirs, and tinctures that channel natural energy.
