The Elements

Affinities are classified by the perceived effect, though the lines are often drawn arbitrarily according to each creator. The origins of the system are unknown but archaeological sites reveal that a similar system existed during prehistoric times. Many variations of the elements exist but currently the most popular is Arstganto's Ten.
