Phaelimni

Initiation

When talking about phaelimni it is about people or animals capable of altering the Anu'laben force to manipulate specific objects and non-objects which will be referred to as "elements" from now on in this article. Each element interacts a bit different to the Anu'laben force which limits most phaelimni to one element. However nothing prevents someone from learning other elements.   There are the prime elements and sub elements. The prime elements are easier to learn and master then the sub elements which are usually combinations or specializations of the prime elements. People differentiate these phaelimni by the elements they use. An okhaphaelimn (Translation; okha: fire, phaelimn: kinetic) for instance can manipulate fire. Each element and sub element has its own prefix. Kineticism is used throughout the world by at least 80% of both animals and people. Only circa 30% of people have mastered it and can effectively and reliably use their skill in combat and survival situations.   A phaelimn must use the movement of their body and will of their mind to manipulate an element. The different types of elements require different types of movement and thought patterns. Emotions play another crucial role in manipulating the elements. For instance; an angry okhaphaelimn can't easily dim the fires they control.

Very well thought out, I really enjoyed the indepth description for each element. However, some of names have capitalization and others don't, might want to fix that. Other than that, a great article!
