Shapers

When a Shaper is young and begins to get their powers, whether they begin shaping elements or manifest their brand first usually indicates if they have better affinity for shaping or generating their element.   Shaping an element requires practice and control and experience. Creating an element with one's brand takes a toll on one's stamina. The more a shaper trains with their brand, the more they'll be able to create. They must train this like a muscle.   Shapers are tied to one brand for life. This brand allows them to create their element. Without it, the Shaper can still shape the natural element in the vicinity. However, shaping a natural element is slightly harder than shaping an element created by their brand, but not by much.   Hybrid elements are made up of two basic elements. A hybrid brand can only produce its hybrid element, but a hybrid shaper has the capacity to learn how to shape, not only their hybrid element, but their basic elements. This is not an easy task to learn.
