Proper use of the four elements, and the techniques to weave them together, are the sign of a true sorcerer. There are unfounded legends, however, of ancient elemental magics that can take even a master spell weaver to a higher leve of power. Such claims are likely false. Even if such magics existed, they have been lost in the passage of time.
The Book of Lataron, Chapter XI
A group of rogue dark elves have amubshed our weakened army today. Guard Captain Masori and I were briefly separated from the rest of the soldiers when we were attacked, and five of the elves engaged us while their main force attacked the army proper. We managed to kill them all, though Masori took a bolt in her thigh. She will recover in time, and thankfully that was the worst injury among our fighters. The dark elves will learn their cowardly tactics do not make them a match for our soldiers!
Lady Gavendais Journal, Chapter V
The scent of death and decay permeated the air, and the guide muttered ancient wards as he led Faratuk deeper into the tomb. Hours passed as they navigated the forgotten halls, and to their horror they found a Sword Maiden waiting for them in the burial chamber. Faratuk cried out as the warrior gave a fanged smile, drew her massive blade, and slew the guide by splitting him down the middle. With cold laughter she turned and raised her bloody sword to Faratuk, who fled in terror.
