Elemental

Elementals are a variety of Fae responsible for overlooking and controlling the four classical alchemic elements. They are embedded within elements themselves.

Physiology
Elementals start their lives off as 'elementless'. In this state, they are physically indistinguishable from humans. This state is known as the 'Elemental Larva'.

At the age of 13 human years, Elementals will gain their element and will sprout into one of four subvarieties of Elemental - Salamander, Undine, Sylph and Gnome.

A parent's subvariety will play no part in deciding what kind of elemental a child will become. The Fae Forest's magic causes a 25-25-25-25 chance for each variety to occur. In less magic-inclined habitats, an elemental will mature to adapt to the environment, such as a Salamander adapting to a dry desert or volcano island, an Undine adapting to a water-based environment, Sylpeeds adapting to airy places and a Gnome will mature in a place with jewels, gems, ores and whatnot.

Elementals are capable of regenerating with ease by consuming parts of their element.

Elementals have powerful elemental magic. They are ideal familiars for mages who focus on one element.

Breeding
The mating process is near-identical to humans.

Undines are only capable of reproducing with humans.
