Islands Of Magic

A world covered in ocean, a few small scattered continents, but all told there are more islands than anything else. Magic is common place among humans, and while the ability to create larger spells is rare and takes years of study, all can use some degree of it. Each elemental magic created a new race, formed from the very essence of itself. While these people are bound only to their own elemental magics, the closer they are with their elements, the more powerful they can become.
