Elements of the gods

When  Totems are created they are infused with an elemental power said to be delivered from the one of the four gods. Above is the elemental table that displays the types of magic affinities that reside in Fauna.
The magic elements also correlate with its neighbours so a user totem that has the element of fire can also delve into the curse and wind elements but not to the full extent of its main element.
Journeyman Jackal  had a totem that had a light affinity which is associate with Eluna the god of light, earth and life.
These elements don't always necessarily mean they are used for combat some are used based on the users personality and in Jackals case his magnified glass.
